Happy 4th of July! Got up at 4 to meet with Bryce at North Ogden Divide to head up to Ben Lomond Peak (9712'). Along the way, we stopped to talk with no less than 20 other runners all heading down. Talk about an early start! They all knew Bryce. I felt horrible and luckily Bryce was kind and kept the pace easy. My stomach was really unhappy on the downhill. That made it rough. We hit the peak and back in 2:50 taking a few shortcuts. Bryce needed to bail but I decided since I was there, I should take advantage and check out the Skyline trail heading south from the divide. It was a steep 2.5 miles to Eyrie Peak (8136'). Out of time and water and most importantly energy, I called it a day and shuffled back to the car. I want to go back and run the Skyline Trail from Pineview to Mantua. Someday... T-4:02 5600' vert |
