AM: Easy 4 on PW
PM: Big Trail Workout with Joe. It was time for the annual First Dam - Wind Caves - Birdeneau Saddle - Green Canyon - BST Loop. Its a tough loop and a good one for a big workout. My goal was to run faster than my FKT set with Jon on 6-15-2010 (2:17:52). The weather was cooperating with us as it was hot but overcast. That kept us from melting. The pace was brisk up to the campground. 6 miles in 47 mins. Then came the 3 miles and 2200' climb. This section was tough and I was not feeling good. Lots of stomach issues. We hit the summit in 90 mins flat. I let joe lead on the downhill and poof he was gone. That boy can run. I was running close to 7 min pace on the technical trail and he had to have been mid to sub 6. Crazy man. We ran down the singletrack through Kings Park and onto the BST. I was pushing as hard as I could and joe looked like he was just jogging ahead of me. What a punk. So, we set a new FKT (barely), but Joe could have easily been 5 mins faster without old man cody holding him back. What a punk. T- 2:16:40 (8:49) 15.5 miles 3500' vert (sport tracks & garmin connect)
