Deer Fence Loop (Dry to Prov from Home)

I wanted to break my course PR on this hilly loop today so I pushed it hard.  Its amazing how hard 6-7 min pace feels after running so many slow miles lately. I beat my previous record by 3 mins.  It was set in March of 2010.  I think it is still a bit soft.

AM: 2 laps on the planet walk - 6 miles

 PM: Jardine Juniper with Joe.  Did the upper loop twice to get 11 miles.  I did my best to hang with joe on the downhills, but he smoked me over the last 100m.

Its official - 

I have signed up for the Bear 100 and today was day 1 of the course recon.  Ok, so I ahve the course memorized already and I have already run the whole course at least 2 times (minus a few tiny sections that I covered today).  There is no need to run it anymore, but the trails are great and I can't reason why not.  Plus, I was able to show Joe Richards Hollow.  I couldn't believe that he had never run it.  Its on my list of top 5 best trails in Cache County.  

So, today we ran from Right Hand Fork to the Waterfall in Richards Hollow then turned around and ran back.  The only problem with the plan was that I wasn't able to leave until 10:30 so we didn't start running until 11.  So, needless to say we got in some heat training.  I really don't like the heat and 80+ degrees is too hot to run. 

Course - Up Ricks Canyon down to Cowley Aid up to the top of Richards and down to the waterfall. Out in 2:00.  Back in 1:57

Note: Jon and I did this run in June 2010 and Joe and I ran it faster today, despite the heat.
