Ran hwy 18 from Baker reservoir to the bluff street church with Craig and John. Very strong head wind... Good thing it was mostly downhill. 8:00 ave pace

We had one psychotic motorcyclist speed pass us 4 times on a bullet bike trying to get close to us to... scare us? intimidate us? show off his skills? We got hold of a deputy that passed by to report him. We don't know if the police found the fool!!

Track with St George Running Group.

5 lap warm-up, bunch of 100's at varying paces and techniques, 2 sets of 2x200, 2x400, 1x800, and 3 sets of stairs, and 2 lap cool down.

Interval pace for me was 6:15's and recovery was marathon pace for half the distance of the interval. We ran straight through each set with a 3 min rest in between sets. We were planning on 3-5 sets but Steve felt that we needed to cut it at 2. I think everyone was going out too hard, but me and another guy stayed to our pace and fell way behind the others. This was a tough workout because our recoveries were so short and we never really got to rest too much between intervals.

1 mile swim in Sand Hollow and a bike ride. Water was 58 degrees and a little windy on the bike. Can't decide if I'm going to sign up for IM in 2 and a half weeks.

Red Mtn 50k... We started with really warm temps. I had to finish this thing faster than planned so I didn't get stuck in the worst of the heat. I ran the trail portion slower than planned. It took me over 2 hrs to run the first 13 miles. At the transition from dirt to pavement I changed into my running shoes and picked up the pace. I was still thinking about how hard this race was after mile 26 so I worked on controlling my pace. I think I did okay. My longer mile times were due to hills and hanging out at the aid stations too long eating and talking.

Lunch run from work up the virgin river trail to jack in the box and back. Legs are feelinng really good after just running an ultra. The wind and cloud cover was nice and it helped to reduce the heat/sun rays.
I did stop for a few at the jack in the box and ordered a fish sandwich, fries and drink. The 3 diet coke/ dr pepper mix was a nice relief. The run back was even better with food in my belly and high on caffine!!
