Favorite Race:
My most memorable day of racing was my Senior year at Minot State. Our Conference Meet was a one-day event and I was able to run the 1500 (1st), 800 (3rd) and 5000 (4th) all in under 3 hours with solid times in each event. Another memorable event for me was running the Master's 800 (2:11) at the Drake Relays in the Spring of 1999.
Running Story:
I was running a 10K in Minnesota with Greg Grooters that started in town and after about 2 miles headed into some deep woods by the lake. I was maybe 40 meters behind Gred and the next thing I know, I am totally lost with no one in sight. I found a gravel road and an eight year-old on his bike pointed me toward town. I had taken a hard right at a T in the course and Greg had take a left. I ended up running about 11K. He won't admit it, but I'm quite sure that Groot pulled the sign down as he went by.
Editor's Note: Maybe Greg will give us his version of the story in his bio!
Favorite Place to Run:
We had some nice routes in Minot that had city streets, dirt paths and plenty of hills that were always a challenge. I also enjoy the paths along the Red River in Fargo.
Current Running:
I am a 4-5 mile a day guy just trying to keep some form of fitness.
