Early morning run from Wheeler's to Snowbasin then on to Mt Allen and Mt Ogden. Rode up wiht Cory and Matt, Shane met us up near the Basin. Climb up from the base to the peaks was brutal. Legs and lungs felt horrible, worked really hard trying and failing to keep up with Matt. We kept a solid pace up to the top of Wildcat, then took it down a notch the rest of the way up. Windy and cold near the peaks. Spent a few minutes in the tram car warmng up and hanging out. By the time we warmed up, I thin k most of the group was ready to head down, I insisted we tag the peaks. Cruised down the srvice road, then took the bomb route down to the lot. We all jumped in Shane's car and took the short cut back to the trial head. Knee ok, hip so so, pretty achey after. Guess that's what 5000 vert up and 3800 down will get me. Still on the mend. 14-15 miles or so. |
