If last nights run run was the reason I love to run, tonight's run was a sharp contrast to that.  7 miles of the worst trail conditons I have run in all winter on the BST from 27th.  Decided to give the north side one more day to melt out, wrong choice.  Slushy, half melted out mashed potatoes nightmare.  Got it done, don't wanna do it again. 

On another note, just read an email that the Xterra Trail Run Nationals are coming to my local trails.  Suhweet! Half marathon starting and ending at Snowbasin.  Open to anyone, no qualifier, so tear it up withthe best of the best if you're up for it. I wont be running as it's the weekend of the Bear 100, but will be cool to have it here.

I think me or Dorsimus described today's conditions as "running through a Slurpee". It was miserable, I agree. And now rain for the next few days.

You should join us on Saturday, around noon), to run Antelope Island.

Sounds about like our conditions today. Worst!

Sweet Mash Potato's.. also I say they moved the xterra race to Sunday from Sat. So, the tri's are all on Sat and the Races are all on Sun.. Thinking, it'll be a dandy 13.1 start stop from Basin!

We talked about heading out there for the 16mi loop trying to be running by 9. Do you know what the group at 8 is shooting for?

Oreo, the group is doing the 16 mile loop, meeting at the gate/guard house at 8, 9 sounds better, but I may go at 8, you should come. If not maybe 9,

Jun, I think I gotta go early, but thanks, you guys should come to the group run at 8 or 9 maybe....with Oreo and the mtn goat. I'd Like to do the 16 miles loop and add on the trail around the north end, good preview for the 50 mile finish.

You know what? We might actually be able to go earlier now. We have to work that morning, but plan to start around 6am and hope to be done by 8am. So there is a good chance we can be there by 9am. Would you guys like to try and meet out there then? If for some reason we can't make it or are late I will let you know, but it would be fun to plan on it. Thoughts?

If you're interested contact me directly (this applies to you too Oreo): craig.lloyd@gmail.com.

From Oreo on Thu, Mar 03, 2011 at 11:45:24 from 206.81.136.61

I'll talk to the crew and let you guys know - what's up...

From Bryce on Fri, Mar 04, 2011 at 23:11:23 from 67.186.213.216

Jun, I think I'm in the 8 AM start, Oreo is going at 8 as well. Maybe you guys could blow off some work and come early. See out there probably anyway.
