Well I am way behind here so I'll try and catch up a little.
I completed the Logan Peak trail run which was my first ultra marathon this summer! It was a great race. It started at a park in smithfield UT. and headed straight up the mountain from there! It followed the cyncline trail to the summit of Logan peak and made a big loop around the mountain and finished back at the park in Smithfield. It was 28 miles of beautiful high mountain scenery! Though the distance wasn't much longer than a standard marathon, the terrain was rough! it was almost all on single track mountain horse trails, and the course had 14,000 feet of elevation gain and loss! Heart break hill would feel like a small speed bump compared to that. It was a tough race because I had the flu and I struggled with stomach problems the whole time. It was slow going for me but I finished in 7:56. I should be able to take an hour off that next year I think.
There is a small traffic jam at the first aid station in dry canyon .
Here I am on the go!
This is Brian, it is a nice picture of the scenery.
Here I am rounding the corner to the finish!
It feels good to finish!
