I'm calling this the Ensign Peak steeplechase. I started just outside of memory grove park and went up through City Creek Canyon to the canyon road, around the canyon to East Capital Drive and up East Capital to the peak. The trail from the base of the peak to the summit was a mess. Completely muddy and required a lot of careful traversing just to stay on my feet. At one point I broke off the main trail and took a side trail that I assume was created to avoid the mud. It was good for avoiding mud but very steep, so I had to walk to the top of that. I tried to move as fast as I could but it was still very slow. My foot started getting tight on the way back down which worried me, so I slowed down quite a bit. My quads are still a bit tight, and have been all week. I think they may stay that way until Saturday when they will get a rest. Foot is doing well now after I stretched it out. Rest it tonight and hit it again in the morning. Time: 1:15:44; AP: 10:22; Vert: 1,406' |
