This race is deemed a 10 K but on my Garmin was short at 5.6 miles.  I ran this last year and  improved time by a minute.  First 2 plus miles is a steady climb from North Ogden "up and over" a trail next to North Ogden divide.  Then the trail dives to Ogden Valley and ends at Wolf Mountain ski resort.  Felt super crappy the first 2 miles, stomach cramps and very heavy legs.  Couldnt get wind like I normally can with a slow up hill pace and hooves couldnt turn over.  

The downhill was fun... just let it all loose in the mud and narrow tall grass lined trail.  Fast mile here was 6:32, which I was very happy with and passed a lot of people without taking a tumble.  The last road hill was slowish again, but wasnt so concerned with time at this point.  I could tell my body and mind is on a bit of a vacation after the St George Marathon.  Will have to do the steady build up again over time.  Overall fun trail run and nice finish with live band and chili.

6:32 on a technical downhill without falling. That's impressive. Sounds like a fun race.
