View Benchmark Peak solo:
I had this brilliant idea to go run VB in the afternoon when the temps in SLC were 102. I had a very busy day and that was about the only time I could fit in a run, plus I could count it as heat training.
I didn't see another soul on the trails. It was just me and Def Leppard and the miserable heat. I was slow and it was a slog, but I ran it all up to the summit where I took a break to check out the view. It never gets old. On the way down the heat really took it out of me and it was a struggle to hit anything resembling a fast pace. I still had a great time and enjoyed some time to clear my head and think even if it was a sweat-fest. |
