Starting from 11th Ave & B Street, I headed toward City Creek Canyon with Brian Kamm and his son, Connor Kamm. Connor was a track and cross country standout at Skyline High and is on his way to run at Williams College in Massachusetts this fall. Connor and I ran an easy pace up City Creek, with Brian a bit behind us. The conditions were excellent and the climbs toward the top felt modest. We turned around at the top of Rotary Park. For the six mile descent down the canyon, I wanted to stay under 6:10 pace, and we did that, averaging closer to 6:00-6:05. The miles felt easy and I suppose I could have pushed harder, but this is just the the start of my downhill training so no need to blow out the quads on this run. After finishing at the cars, we jogged back and picked up Brian about .4 behind us and ran him in. |
