Same Snowbasin trail 1/2 marathon as last Monday. Ran it a little faster tonight than last week, 1:49 for 13.1. 1940 vert. About got killed by two mtn bikers on Green Pond , luckily I had a feeling it might be coming and stepped to the right side of the trail just as a guy came flying around a blind corner. He almost put it in the dirt to avoid hitting me, and I had to jump sideways to miss his handle bar, just as I caught my balance his buddy came around the corner even faster and about took us both out. Explatives and apologies exchanged, and all was good agian in few seconds. Other than that, not another person out. Really pushed the downhill hard tonight, had splits from 6:40 to 6:58 for 3 miles and my Ice Box split was 7:20, last mile down Wheeler was 6:41. I'll take it for technical single track. Route was Wheeler/E.Fork/Green Pond/Down Little Cat at Snowbasin/Maples/Icebox/Wheeler. A little rain tonight made it nice. Great run, I expected a little more fatigue after last week. Calves are a little tight, me thinks its time for some more ART. |
