WASATCH 100

Here we go again!!! Corbin is getting ready to run his 2nd Wasatch 100 mile endurance race on Friday. He breezed through 80 miles of it on his first try back in 2007 and then Jed had to carry him down a mountain when his body quit before the rest of him wanted it to. Good thing Jed is amazingly strong :) On Friday, Corbin plans on completing the entire distance, even if he has to roll down the mountain those last 20 miles! His #1 motivation: the huge, decorative belt buckle he will receive upon completion of the race :) If anyone reads this, I beg you to please keep Corbin in your thoughts & prayers on Friday and early Saturday morning. We want our daddy back alive and in one working piece!!
Good luck honey! You already know that you are crazy.

Here are a few fun memories from his last attempt...


Mile 39, no sweat.. just dirty feet. Probably the first foot bath Corbin had ever had.

Mile 50-something. Ken paced from Lambs to Millcreek. Still feeling good :)

Brighton aid station- Mile 76. Mark's not laughing at Corbin's weight, he's just happy he's done running. Corbin and Jed still had 24 miles to the finish. Corbin just barely made the weight requirement by the way, although 3 miles later he was wishing he hadn't eaten that piece of ham.

Good Luck Corbin! We won't be around on Sunday, so if you do win a huge belt buckle you'll have to wear it the following Sunday too :) We hope you're able to make it to the end this time around.

Congrats Corbin! I knew you would do it. Sorry, but you weren't in my prayers. But I did hope you made it back in one piece!!! You are the man, man!
