Duathalon of sorts today. I biked up to Blacksmith fork canyon to watch Walter run the Freedom Run 15K. I really wanted to run this race, but there was just no way this year. I hit the far end of Hollow road in 27:20 (17mph). I hit a nasty headwind for me going up the canyon, but awesome tail-wind for the runners. I made it up past the mile marker 4 (11.5 mph up the canyon) before seeing any runners. When I did finally get to them, they were moving. I turned around when Walter came flying down the hill. I coasted next to him for the rest of the race except for the last 1/2 mile. There was some serious competition today with Walter running in 7th? and averaging 5:30 pace coming down the canyon. He sure looked good today. He ended up getting one road-kill at the top of the hill while the guy dry-heaved. So I believe he finished in 6th place. Just under 52 mins. I am sure tail-wind helped the times, but a sweet race either way. I ran 3 miles with Walter for his cool-down. I was having a hard time breathing as my throat is super irritated. I need to rest and get over this illness as it is killing me. T-23:40 (7:53) 155 I immediately biked home from Hyrum. 7.5 miles - 20.7 ave mph - 154 ave HR Counting the 25 miles of biking as 5 miles of cross-training
