I went by myself, didn't take any pictures.  I couldn't find any race organizer pictures, either.

Written by Owen:

I think this is the first race ever where I have no photographic evidence that a race took place.  I drove down to do this race by myself and failed to take even a single selfie.

This was a small race which was a 5k/10k.  The bibs were the same and the starting line and start time were the same for both races.  There was a turnoff point at about a half-mile where the 5k'ers turned off.  So until that point, I had no idea I was in the lead of the 10k.  I watched every runner in front of me peel off.

I looked behind me and I was distancing myself from everyone.  The car showing the way was actually for me.  That had never happened before.  I led all the way until about mile 5, then started to run out of gas.  A couple of guys passed me with about a half-mile to go.

It was a pretty fun experience leading a race, and the course was beautiful.  Much hillier than I had planned for, though.  There was no course map so I had no idea what to expect.

This was a really fun race.  I registered late for this race, which meant the Ridgecrest Conference Center rooms were all booked already.  So I got a room at a nearby Super 8.

Michael and I went on this trip with our good friends, the Griffiths.  They had a room at the conference center.

I had a booth at the expo for Taz Running, making pace tattoos for the runners.  It went really well and the runners liked it.

My goal for the race was to PR and to practice running fast downhill in preparation for the Revel Rockies Marathon in a little over a month.  My previous half-marathon PR was 1:32:28, which I set at another nearby downhill half marathon, The Scream.

I really enjoyed this race.  It starts out on roads and is up and down for the first four miles.  Then it moves to packed dirt and winds down a canyon, drastically downhill.

I beat my PR by over three minutes and took first in my age group (only because Chris's friend Pete won a masters award so he was removed from my age division).
