8 easy miles on the canal trail route.  My body was wrecked from water skiing last night.  So worth it....

Long Trail Run  - 

We had the brilliant plan to do a night-ish run to get used to running in the dark when tired.  You know, Bear100 training.  So we (Joe and I) started at 7pm and headed up the mountain.  We 'ran' up Spring Hollow and headed west on the North Syncline trail.  Scenery was spectacular.  Huge red sunset as we came over to dry canyon.  Right about that point, my energy levels tanked and my stomach was acting up.  Lesson learned, don't eat a huge omelet an hour before a 5 hour run.  My legs revolted early on as well.  They didn't like the punishment I have dished out over the last 2 weeks.  Everything below the waist hurt.  Boo hoo. 

We followed the trail around to South Syncline and onto welches flat jeep trail.  The darkness settled in and the eyes came out.  If you looked at the trail, you saw lots of spiders, if you watched the trees, you saw cows.  Lots of cows.  A highlight was hiking the last uphill before the Logan Peak aid station (of the bear) watching the moon and stars.  That was cool.  

We looped back around and headed back down Spring hollow doing the 100 mile shuffle.  I was sore and tired.  My legs were so unhappy, definitely the worst they have felt this year.  Boo hoo.

We rolled into the parking lot at midnight, chatted with the Sheriff who was trying to recruit us to do Search and Rescue since we are obviously capable of hiking into remote places on a whim.  Sounds perfect.

TOU Half Marathon Cheering Section -

My older but not wiser sister was in town to run the best half marathon around.  I wanted to cheer her on and try and support her so I ran from the house (2.5 miles) to the finish line.  From there, I followed the course in reverse until I met up with her on Hollow Road.  It was fun watching the front-runners so late in the race.  Usually I only see them for the first mile.  Jake was looking strong with 2 other guys I didn't know (Riley from the blog and his friend I guess).  Ben was not far from them.  Glad to see him tear it up out there.  I also soon saw Walter and Adam and I ran with walter for a bit.  Broken Ribs and all, what a nut.  I also ran with Clyde for a bit as he was out goofing off at 5:45 pace.  That was too fast for my ultra legs so jogged back up the canyon a bit and saw lots more bloggers (Allie, Scott etc.).  My sister soon appeared and now it was go time.  She was shooting for sub 2 hours and was right on track.  She was actually in-front of the 2:55 pace group, but was soon slipping off pace and got passed by that group.  The "just walk, no one cares..." monster was on her back and she was fighting it off.  I would only let her walk at the aid stations and a block here and there.  She fought the good fight, and won the war.  She got a PR and ran 1:58:18.  Well done. 

I decided to get a ride home with her as my ITB was not happy with me.  Too much running lately.  Better watch it as the body is breaking down.  No injuries are allowed.
