Met Craig in Sandy at Willow Park to run the HPHM course for next Sat. It had snowed last night and a little in the morning, so there was a decent amount of snow on the trail. It was a beautiful afternoon and we just kind of cruised along. The snow was fun, but certainly slows you down a little. Canyon Hollow had one other set of tracks before us, so it was a lot of powder to run through. We still ran the whole thing, I hate to use the word 'magical' but theres just something cool about running in the snow covered forest through fresh powder. Flying down Clarks was a lot of fun, a little tricky since you can't really see whats under the snow, but we made it without incident. A little mud, but not much. Heading back on the BST we were both a little tired, my hip had some residual soreness from the PE50, but other than that, my legs felt quite good (but tired). Wore the ContourHD on the top of my hat, seems to work pretty well. I'm putting together a little (OK, not little) turn by turn video of the course.
My sweet headgear...have a nice the sweatsicle growing there too! |
