Afternoon run. I ran 20 miles of dirt road at altitude it was a hard work out and I was spent by the finish. Started at Bill's Park ( no relationship) in the Ashley National forest and ran up the road to Paradise Park Reservoir about seven miles and then ran down to the Blandard Park turn off and ran up 3 more miles to the park turn out. Turned and ran back to the car. According to the Garmin I started at about 7000 and ran to 10077. It is amazing how the altitude can make you feel so sluggish. AVG Hr 143 Slow run 2:54 Beautiful country, I have done this run before and had to plow through the snow to make it to the top. This year it was dry road the whole time. Game spotting report: Several Elk, a couple of Mule deer, Sage grouse, Chip munks and a trout a guy was reeling in at the dam.
I want to find more high altitude runs in the next few months if anyone has some good spots to suggest let me know where you like to run. |
