A.M. - 3 times up and down the 9-mile route. Lots of folks out running, walking, and biking in the beautiful weather. I saw the "Gateway to LaCaille" 7k runners doing there thing.
P.M. - Fritz, you called it.... Same ride as last week; double canyon, Big Cottonwood/Guardsman and Little Cottonwood (~65 miles). Felt good. Weather/temps were awesome. Worst part of the ride was coming down LCC. I was cooking pretty good when I came to the big descent by Tanner's Flat. They've been doing some road work and the shoulder of the road (and well into the road past the white line) is all jacked-up and uneven. There's some loose gravel/sand too. I lost traction and went of the road. Dang near turfed it. Very glad I didn't.
Feeling pretty confident heading into the Ultimate Challenge next week. My longest ride has only been 65 (2 of them), but I feel like I've been getting good quality from hitting the canyons. I would be nice if some of the benefits of the cycling work could translate to my running. We'll see.
