Best run of the year, makes me want to post something :)
There's nothing like the full Powerhouse to psych you out. First you run 2 miles on gentle uphills in Mapleton and Springville, then it's  2.5 of nasty rock-filled uphill intervals to the meadows where, if you time it right, the sun rises at your feet as you crest the top. I was about 10 minutes early, it was still really pretty. Then you lope easily down the road towards left fork HCC but you have to break your mile record at mile 7.I did it! 4:39 (well the watch said 4:41 but I had to duck under a waist-high gate in the middle and I settled nicely into a 4:31 pace by the end so I am counting it) I hate it when the shoe comes untied .1 into the time trial but you go with what you have. Then, once you pass the golf course, you have to run two tempo miles at 12 and 13 (I got 5:53 and 5:46). Then you have to run two sub tempo miles at the end to close it out and try to break 2:10, which I did for the first time this year! Last two were 6:26 and 6:03, total 16.16 miles in 2:09:46

Now it's naptime.
