Rode the Snow Cyn Loop at 4am with Craig. We climbed up 17 miles at a 14 mph average. The last 4 miles was the big push through Snow Cyn. We then took Hwy 18 back to St George. We were moving fast down the canyon. The dark made it a little more intense since I only had a tail light and no head light. There was no drafting allowed... :S The moon was bright so we could see the road and the beautiful mountains around us. We averaged the last 18 miles at a 22 mph. Overall a 17.3 mph... not bad for tough hills and in the dark!
This evening I just ran an easy, loosen me up run on the treadmill before yoga class. Ran the first 2 miles very easy in 19:00, and then moved up to a 8:30 pace for the last mile. Overall pace 9:10 |
