It was a great morning for running and I got to run with a great bunch of guys...the regulars of Kevin, Kent, Larry, and Wayne, and we were joined by Kerry Southworth and Greg Wrubell. We started at the mouth of Provo Canyon and ran up to South Fork. We all went as far as South Fork Park before turning around. Kevin, Wayne, and I went on up to Trefoil to get in a 20 mile run. I forgot to lock in my Garmin before we started and never did get it going until we stopped at Trefoil before turning around. In my opinion we ran a pretty good pace for all that uphill, in a time of around 1:37 I think, including stops. Kevin, Wayne, and I averaged around 7:50/mi on the way back down. The pattern seemed to be that Kevin would push the pace a little, then Wayne would take the bait and they would both push the pace even more. I just tried to hang on. We ran the 10 downhill miles in around 1:20, and I believe we ran the 20 miles in just under 3 hours. My goal was just to finish without bonking. I felt strong most of the time. I really only felt stressed the times Kevin and Wayne pushed the pace to around 7:00-7:20/mi. I felt good enough at the end to run the last 1/2 mile at 7:17/mi. |
