TIMPANOGOS (TIMPOONEKE) 2:07 up/1:25 down.

Jumped on it after work this evening. Moderate pace, keep effort low and in-control. Lots of goats, listened to coyotes singing on the run down. Walked a spell coming down after twisting my ankle for the...well a bunch anyway. Beautiful evening, just beat the lightning show.

I've run this thing over 20x and still can't get over the views. I'm sure my time would improve if I left my phone (camera) in the truck. Sorry for the overkill. 

Headed toward AF canyon agin this evening and parked at the mouth of the canyon to watch the clouds rolling in. Checked radar and it didn't look good. Had to abort my plans and instead headed for the gym. By the time I got there it was raining. 2 hours later it was still raining. Made the rigbt choice although not at thrilled about the treadmill, nearly walked out after standing there for 10 min. 

Stopped my whining and got going. 

Repeats: 1.5 mile warm-up, 8 x 400 at 6 mm (last 2 ran .3 miles at 5:30), 1 mike cool down. No longer surprised after some speed that my legs feel better after feeling heavy and tired all day.

WASATCH TRAIL SERIES

Back to Corner Canyon this week. 2 laps on now familiar trail. 2 mile warm-up, 5.5 mile race. Some moderate climbs with some fast downhill avg pace 7:41. Super fast group today. Toby winner again. I finished around 7-8th place.

TIMPANOGOS (TIMPOONEKE TRAILHEAD)

1:58 summit-PR!/1:21 down (took it kind easy going down until 2 miles to go-dark and in no hurry) 3:20 round trip. 

Ran with Matt Van Horn who hit the summit in 1:34!! Phil Lowry sighting as he was heading back down.

TIMPANOGOS (TIMPOONEKE)

New PR 3:17! Second day in-a-row. 2:08 up (10 mi. slower than yesterday)/1:08 down (13 min faster than yesterday). With the exception of a couple stops, and navigating through the hikers, I don't think you can (should) go down much faster in the dark than Craig and I did. Sub 3 looking like a possibility...for me. Craig easily did sub 3 tonight.

Headed up this evening again with a big head start on Craig Lloyd, Matt Van Horn, Nick Surlos. Met them at the top and had a great run down with Craig and I leading the charge. Lots of hikers/groups heading up the mountain (50+) as we came down around midnight.

TIMPANOGOS (TIMPOONEKE)

3rd summit in three days, 4th this week. After two consecutive days of posting PR's, today I fell apart. Felt fine just before the meadow and then started unraveling. Glad to have Matt P there to pull me along. Slow to the summit and slow back down--tripping, stumbing, felt like mile 80. Guess I had it coming.

19,500 vert for the week.
