Long Trail Bike/Hike/Run - 

Rode the bike from the house out to Mendon and up to the trailhead at Deep Canyon (Wellsvilles) - 51 mins 1000' vert

Left the bike at the empty trailhead headed up the canyon.  I did some running, but mostly hiking up the 3 miles and 2700 feet to the saddle (first sweet view of both cache valley and box elder county).  From there it was another couple hundred feet of climbing to gain the ridge.  From there it was easy running aside from the attacking bushes.  Did I mention the awesome views?

Its about 3.5 miles from the saddle to the top of Wellsville Cone (9356').  I took some pics, video and took a quick break. So far, my leg was doing great, but now that I had lots of downhill it would be put to the test.  Back down the mountain but before dropping down Deep Canyon I took a detour to tag Mendon Peak (8766').  I have run past the peak a few times but never took the time to tag the peak.  More pics, video and breaks and down the canyon I went.  Once I dropped down off the saddle, my ITB was really unhappy and so I went slow and easy. 

Back at the bike, finally, I rode home in just over 30 mins and made a smoothie.  Quite the adventure and I did it all without even driving anywhere.  Pretty sweet!

I decided to only bike for the time being until my leg improves.  I guess I start a 3 week taper now.

Biked up Providence Canyon Trail to the middle bridge - 13.5 miles - 75 mins 1100' vert

Same as yesterday, only 2 mins faster.  My hands were frozen today.  I can't believe it is time to wear gloves already.  

Spent some time last night (again) working on the hammy.  I think that is the issue.  Tight/Pulled hammy = tight ITB.

Long Bike Ride - 

Rode the bike up to Millville Canyon (30 mins) then proceeded to suffer for the next hour as I struggled up the canyon.  It is steep and rocky.  Brutal on the bike.  Actually, not very fun at all.  2200' climbing in 3.25 miles.  Once at the top, I wandered around on the saddle a bit looking for a view point.  I quickly gave up and rode down Leatham Hollow.  That trail nearly killed me.  Its a bit technical and I think my brakes were nearly at the melting point.  I was halfway down the trail when I felt lots of wobble on my front tire and I noticed that the quick release was not tight.  My tire nearly fell off.  Thankfully, I made it down the hill without dying and rode home via blacksmithfork canyon.  The tailwind was nice today.

  T-3:02 (convert to 18 miles cross-train) 3000' climbing
