Catching up a bit.  Took it pretty easy last week recovering from the race.  Got out for a short hike Tuesday, 30 minute easy spin on wednesday, 4 miles thursday, 6 friday, skiing saturday morning with the 3 year old (rough and slushy) Indian Trail Saturday afternoon. Love that trail!! Feeling pretty beat up still, energy is good but legs still a bit beat, which is fine and  to be expected.

Indian Trail on Saturday. No snow, sweet forested single track and a good amount of damage from the wild winds this winter.

Got out tonight for a bit of a wild adventure up Colld Water canyon from Indian trail.  Took the loppers, saw and some pruners to do a little trail work.  Glad I did.  3000 vert, lots of off trail madness. 3 hours.

Sweet recovery.  Got out for a fresh feeling 7 toninght.  Finally had some pep in the legs which was confirmed when I ran into Pablo and we flew along at a mid to low 6 minute pace from Strong's to 22nd (ok, its mostly downhill but did include busting a gut up Taylor to the first bridge).  Kid can run, it was fun to hear him tell me about how his 50K at Antelope Island went (3rd palce overall in his second race ever).

Zion traverse with Cory and Matt.  Perfect! Great weather and the trail was 95% dry unlike last year's mud slog.  Cory's first trip ever to Zion, guess running from one end of the park to the other is a great way to see the place. Pretty much had the whole trail to ourselves, except right in the main canyon of course.  Went West to East, which feels uphill pretty much the whole way, except practically falling off a cliff at the end of the West Rim trail.  Still seems like the more aesthetic way to do it to me, though could see the other way being faster. Fast wasn't the goal for this one. Unsupported on the run, 34 hours house to house.

No pics for this one. Here's a link to last year's trip for pics and a map.
