Finally!!!!

A decent run on this trip. In fact, probably a bucket list type run. 14 miles in Crater Lake National Park - most of it following the Rim Trail around the lake and about 3 miles with Abby. The last two miles was down the Cleetwood Cove Trail to the lake where Abby and I jumped from a 20 foot rock into the lake. That was fun.

Look at Abby's new picture to see what that was like.

Hot tubbing now at our hotel in the thriving metropolis of Burns, Oregon. Back home tomorrow.

14.5 hard mid-day trail miles in Park City. 8:45 average.

Abby said I needed to change my profile picture and that she had an "awesome" one. By awesome she meant a sideways picture that is too smal with me in the shadows.

Typical Thursday Alta run except I held way back what with a race on Saturday. Ran the last three miles down the mountain with Abby at about 8:50 pace so hopefully my legs will appreciate that on Saturday.

I ran about 30 seconds slower than last year bur ran WAY more relaxed and conservatively. Didn't wipe out at all on the downhills. Finished second to Taha in the 50-54.

I had fun today and still felt fresh at the finish.

Splits - 10:40, 10:04, 9:41, 9:30, 11:14, 10:50, 17:26, 11:08, 7:24, 7:14, 6:44, 6:44, 6:58, 6:51, 6:07

The 17:26 split included a mountain called Jupiter Peak. It's rocky, steep, and not really possible to run. You just mostly crawl on all fours. A couple times I almost fell back down the mountain.

I enjoyed driving up with Tayte Pollmann who ended up winning the whole thing in 1:50. Tayte is 18 and just graduated from Brighton High School and I've got to know him this year because he trains with my Alta team sometimes. He's going to The University of Portland in the fall. I think it's pretty unique for a high school kid to win a race like this.
