decided last minute to check out the first ever utah Tribal Run. this is an all night dusk to dawn and see how far you can run in that time type race... the race was supposed to be on antelope island but was moved to miller sports part in tooele at the last minute. my friend and i decided to both enter the run solo. he's using the race for wasatch 100 training. here are more details: http://www.thetribalrun.com/locations/northern-utah#.UB6UDbSe58E anywho, this was a great way to get some training in. the RD expected around 1k to sign up, but only ended up with around 150 runners... and most of the runners were on teams of up to 6 people. so each time i went out to run a 5k (approx) loop i was lucky to see 1-2 runners. even though the participant numbers were low everyone seemed to have a good time and the weather was great. most of the course was ran on the miller sports park race tracks with a bit of off-road. my friend and i ran pretty easy/slow. i ran 9 loops,my friend ran 11. i took a 45 min nap around 2am and i'm glad i did. if i run this next year i'll push a harder and see if i can get in the 40-50mi range. |
