Ran with the XC team for the first part of my run and then got lost with my friend Abigail by the K-mart. Even though i was paying attention to directions today and someone had told me prior what thunderbird is, i still couldn't find the place or fountain by it. Abigail and i thought the team had taken a street right before the K-mart called Maywood, so we did. Then about halfway into that street we realized something was seriously wrong because the rest of the team was not ahead on that street and there was no bridge at the end. So, we then took a left onto 2300 East. Luckly, 2300 East meets 2000 East which has a tunnel to the other side of I-80 and since i had heard something about bridges and tunnels we decided to take it. We kept running on that road until we hit 2700 South and took a right until we hit 1500 East. Now, the intersection of 1500 East and 2700 South sounded really familiar and i believe it was mentioned in the directions we were supposed to follow so we took it and followed the normal Sugarhouse run that we normally take until we hit Sugarhouse Park where part of team had already gotten there. I must say, this was a pretty interesting run, but i really do not enjoy getting lost all the time. I think we should take a run that is a little more straightforward than having many turns and really confusing colloquial and local landmarks that i have no idea where they are located. Overall, i am willing to attempt this run once again as long as i am with someone.
