-Writeup courtesy of Jon "Long trail run with Cody JON. We parked at First Dam and ran up the river
trail to Guinivah Malibu (trail is very passable the whole way),
averaging 8-8:30 miles. Then we ran up to the Wind Caves- the trail is
in perfect condition. It climbs 1000 ft in just under 2 miles, so we
averaged 11:50's up. Then we turned around and ran back to the start of
the river trail. Last week I JON bonked hard at mile 16- this week I HE felt
GREAT the whole way. We even had a few sub-7 miles towards the end. We
turned around again at Stokes parking lot and ran up 2 miles (onto the
singletrack), then finally ran back to First Dam. 20 miles in 2:48:31
(8:24 avg) with about 3000 ft climbing. The weather was gorgeous, the
trail was in great condition, I had a good time talking to Cody Jon, and I
felt fabulous TIRED. I can't imagine a better start to a day." That about sums up the run. Vertical 2600'
* First 80+ mileage week of the year. 81 miles - 4150' Vertical I am working on the second Bus project at work and it is arguably a bigger pain than the first. This sign goes on a double decker in England. So far I am up to 23 hours of time at work in 2 days. Another full day tomorrow. I did make lots of good progress today, in spite of slipping out for a tad to watch Paul run his 5K at USU. Nice Job Paul!
