Blow out on Jeff's front Tire

Well in our fourth interval Pete and Jeff had a good pace going. We had just turned around under I15 and started heading back to the Bonsall Community Church and Jeff's front tire blew out the side wall. After checking it out Pete went looking down the road for something to use as a boot. Within 1 minute he came back with a pair of plastic glasses the kind they give you when you get your eyes dilated. We figured out how to cut it with a piece of metal which we also found by the side of the road and before you knew it we had the tire back on with a very nice boot to hold everything back together. Pete your amazing!!! Jeff was able to finish the rest of his intervals and make it home as well.

Jeff.
Bummer on the tire troubles, but better to blow out now then out there during RAAM.

I took the tire back to the place I bought it and they gave me a new one no questions asked. They told me that that was the second one that had been returned to them. Not to comforting!!!
