Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00

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.

that was kind of cool reading about your gut instinct to step to the side of the trail.

Nice on the 13.1 You're a machine.

Sweet - run! Although you missed Dave's BigFoot show. I need to go do that run! Is that basically the xterra half?

Lily, thanks, ya, wierd, I started having really vivid thoughts about getting taken out by a mtn biker, and moved over just to be safe, and right then, boom.

Nick, Can't blieve I missed Dave's bigfoot show?? Gotta ask HD about that one. The first half is the same as the xterra race, but they split off before Green Pond parking lot, at the fork with the bench, and go down middle fork and up Maples. The xterra is shorter, seems like it's a little under 12, but has a little more climb, maybe. It's a tough one, and all the go fasties go fastie in that race. Are you running it this year?

Bryce, you're on fire! Nice run again. How are the legs?

I am now worried about that guy and his kids too. Wow! I have a 5, 8 and 12 year old and I can't even imagine taking my 5 year old on something like that. Crazy! Hope they make it down safe.

Thanks scott, no problem, maybe that means you actually read both of my blibberings :) Legs feel o.k. knock on wood, nothing feels strained or overworked. A little fatigue, but that's what we're after, right?

I didn't hear anything on the news, so I guess they are ok. Good to hear RE your legs.
