AM: Paced Kevin Q from Lamb's to Brighton, from 10pm to 6:30 am. Can't remember the last time I was up for 28 hours straight, kinda fun! Took a really long time so I am counting all those miles because it was hard and I had to be happy the whole time! Climbed 6300 feet, which is just a small pecentage of the entire Wasatch 100. So happy he was able to finish the race, an incredible feat with all that heat!
Can't hardly wait for the Peruvian Downhill this afternoon. Going to wear my roller shoes...
PM: Thought it would be pretty stupid to run the Peruvian after 22 miles through the night and 2 hours of sleep, but then all the coffee kicked in and I was overly deliriously stoked! It ended up being worth it even if I can't walk for a few days since I won a FREE NIGHT at the Peruvian Lodge, which is going to be awesome come ski season - yay!
I had planned to run the first mile as fast as I could and then meet up with Jake and Abby. The first mile was 5:58 (ha, ha, ha!) and then I physically couldn't slow down due to gravity and inertia aka ridiculous downhill and the next one came in at 6:08. Around mile 4 this honest downhill course turned into an adventure race with speeding cars, torrential down pours, and crazy lightening strikes - so, so very frightening, I cannot believe they didn't stop traffic! Was so happy to be finished! Then an absolutely wonderful evening with great food, lots of fun with FRB-ers, and SLEEP!
I think my 2 runs today balanced each other out so I am pretty sure I wil be okay.
