This turned into twice as long a run as I was planning. I had Anne drop me off half way up Millcreek canyon. I ran one mile up from there and was planning on turning around and running home approx 6 miles, but saw the pipeline trailhead was packed hard with snow and decided to venture up. This decision added 7 trail miles and another hour, but was beautiful up along the trail. I could tell I was underfueled and hydrated at mile 7. Definitely a hot lamb moment. This was a trail run/walk up steeps. On the descent down Rattlesnake Gulch I slipped on the trail where it is steep and basically just ice. Slid for about 15 feet like I was on a taboggen until got ahold of some branches. Got out of the canyon and ran home. fasted mile about 8:20, slowest about 12:30. avg about 9:45 with just over two hours of run time. Sore but fun. Love to get the brothers on the trail. |
