Still in St George. Wanted to get between 10 and 14 and ended up with 17 because I got into the "not sure where I am going" and was on the "no way back to the beginning without keeping on going" loop. Went from Entrada area up Snow Canyon road and Whiptail trail system until came to the top ranger station. Was at 7 miles and asked the ranger what the distance was going onto the highway back to where I started vs just turning and going back. She thought sixes and so I decided to continue onto new ground. Turns out it was 10. Seven of it was on the St George Marathon course (approx miles 15 to 22)... this is a fun but rolling and seemingly endless without good fuel. I finally got to Sunset Blvd and ended up walking about a half mile as the fuel ran out. Not sure why as I have been living on Iceberg and Larsens Frostops shakes for the last several days. Slow avg pace. Weather here great...been 75 all week. Will be sad to come back to ongoing winter of home. |
