Cardiac, I'm guessing your wife ran yesterday? How did she do?

Her competitive nature has her a little bugged that she ran an hour slower than her best marathon. Conditions were truly awful though — sheets of water coming at the runners head-on. If there was ever a marathon to take slow for safety purposes this was it. There was a major hypothermia risk. She has felt great today and was on the elliptical tonight. She has a heart rate monitor that is really accurate that says her heart rate average was 95 during the race so I think that’s evidence she really was taking it easy.

Conner Mantz ran the fourth fastest marathon time for any American when he ran in the Chicago marathon last Sunday. Conditions must have been perfect since Kipchoge's record got broken and the record is now a mere 35 seconds from being below 2 hours. Absolutely incredible.
Mantz is probably a better marathoner than any other discipline. He's an absolute machine and I hope he gets better as he ages. Interesting enough Clayton Young (another BYU alum) came in 8th place just behind Mantz and they both beat Galen Rupp, who has been the undisputed best American marathoner for a bit.

Good articel in the WSJ about Conner Mantz and Clayton Young. Looks like Jared Ward pulled out of the Olympic trials. Hopefully Conner and Clayton can go 1-2 on Saturday."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
