1st trip up BL for the year, ran into the go fasties BJ and Jon on their way down, talked for a bit. Went by lots and lots of chatty hikers. I got out too late for the annual 4th of July crowd. Remkes signed the book saying they beat the sun! Too early for me! Legs heavy today and my energy was very low, run felt really long. Diagnosis, grass allergies kick'en in hard and I started out about a quart low on fluid and it only got worse from there. Oh, and I gotta eat mo bettah. Beutiful day out overall and great to finally get to a real peak. ??time?? Garmin shorted on the way up, reset on the down and ran low 9:'s to high 7's. 15 miles or so, 3600ish vert. 7300 vert this "weak" and 38 miles or so.

Maybe you were still recovering from that fast run on thursday too, that sounded like a solid pace for 14 miles with that vert.

Your weekly mileage and vert was almost identical to mine. I was .5 miles shorter, and right about that much vert.

Ya Aaron good point, it may have been fatigue, I guess I ran a little harder than I realized through the first 11 miles or so because the last 3 were in the dark and slow I just kinda blew it off as an easy run. I think I ran a liitle harder than I planned because I was trying to beat a friend, who started at a differnt trailhead, to the same turn around point. He was on a mountain bike and I passed him about a 1/2 mile from the top then put the hammer down to punctuate the point. Ha! He got his revenge on the way down . . .never saw him agian after the first corner, of coure.

Hope you guys have a blast in the morning running up at Alta. Unfortunatly, work is what I got panned. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
