Early morning summit of Wasson peak, beautiful sunrise. The uphill felt harder and slower than Saturday, but I pushed the downhill harder and ended up with faster overall time. AP 11:41. 

 Below is the comparison between Tuesday and Saturday.

Ran up Beacon hill again. I need to get up earlier. I wanted to do the hill a couple of times. Unfortunately I didn't have time. I was again able to run the whole hill, which is very encouraging. I feel like this hill is as steeper as the steepest parts of snowbird unfortunately much shorter.

This is my third time up wasson peak this week. I felt like this time was going to be slower I didn't have much energy when I started. As I kept going ingot more energy. I did rest a minute or so longer at the saddle and at the top. I did try to push the downhill as much as possible and ey were all less than 10 min/mile. I was kind of surprised that the uphills were as fast as the previous times as well as faster than any prior trip as well. My AP was the fastest I have ever had as well. AP: 11:34. Below is the comparison with the runs from the past week as well as the run from right before the Moab trail half marathon.
