ran the east side of Bear lake on cisco road, around the back side of the lake. what I didn't count on was the strong north wind. I am guessing it was a continuous 15+ mph wind, all I know is it felt like a brick wall for 8.25 miles. I parked my car half way through the route so I could refuel without carrying more than one 7 oz bottle. Ran the first 4.25 down wind, then turned north and ran continuous 8.25 into the wind, stopping for a a gu and water at the car and to pick up another 7 oz bottle. Turning back south for the last four was like heaven, I felt like I was being pushed all the way back to the car. But I paid for this run. big time. I am not sure I will ever run again. I am seriously traumatized. I don't think I am built for the long distances. 16.5 at 7:38 average, probably faster than I should be running this kind of condition, but I just wanted to get through. Hit my goal of 60 for the week. one gu, 14 oz cytomax, 8 oz water.
