Once again, I entered a race weekend severely undertrained.  Nagging injuries the past 3 years have kept me from training.  My race goals have been to stay within an hour of my half marathon personal best time and to stay ahead of my personal worst half marathon time at Wyoming.  Wyoming was an incredibly tough course running down and then back up a mountain at altitude.
