Powerhouse, yeah!

 OK not the full powerhouse because  I had to be back in time for the baptism but I drove to the base of the mountain and did it from there. Stage 1 is 3.6 miles up the canyon for a gain of 1970 feet (13:49, 12:16, 16:42, 9:42). The only goal - don't stop running, except for 100 meters of really steep part. Did it! Then go easy until mile 4 and go hard for 1, easy for 1 four times (5:12 (392 down), 6:49, 5:06 (309 down), 7:03, 5:31 (92 down), 7:07, 5:38 (109 down)) then MP for the rest (6:32, 6:19, 5:26 for .4)

The top never disappoints and today was no exception, as the rising sun was a ball lying on the ground right in front of my feet. Made it hard to see though :) I feel pretty zippy now so I am thinking I am ready to rock the Timp Trail Half next week.

That's a good and tough workout Dave. You're right to be pleased with yourself.

I think it's fast becoming my favorite - it has everything. (Apparently including two extra miles I accidentally put there :)
