In a heated battle, Josh Beckham threw down a fast performance and outlasted David Rindt and DeWayne Satterfield crossing the line 6 and 8 minutes in front, respectively. Dave Mackey’s Record remains immaculate as usual, but only 11 minutes quicker. Patricia Smith also ran a great race outdistancing Wendy Parker-Dial by just over 5 minutes, and another 5 back was Kristine Whorton. We would love to see some of these fast folks at the Speedgoat 50K in July! And Mr. HalKoerner is dominating the Speedgoat of the Year award over on the other side of the ridge at Wasatchspeedgoat.com, check it out if you haven’t voted yet!
