Mountain View Trail Half Marathon - Antelope Island, UT
Gorgeous day for running. Trail half marathon on Antelope Island, Utah. The island is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. I was able to see many of the island’s namesame critters and quite a few of the 600 resident buffalo. The course started on dirt road, but quickly transitioned to single-track trail. One downhill section was quite technical as the buffalo had torn it up while it was wet, which required some tricky footwork to keep from rolling an ankle. The aid stations were well staffed and stocked. I met my goals of finishing and not finishing last! BBQ at the finishline was great. Had a blast on the trail and enjoyed conversing with old and new friends pre and post-race. |
