| | Grandeur fun run double (west face, down to pipeline, up and over on some unknown trail, back to car and repeat). Great day until Francesco got sick...slow, slow, slow 2nd loop.

| | Grove Creek -> Battle Creek Loop. (Sunday Hike). The meadow is exceptional right now. Leaves starting to come out on the Aspen's giving them a kind of a neon green hue.

| | Grandeur Fun Run. Coming down with some kind of bug. Pushed harder than I should have on this one and am paying the price. 1:02 to the top (west face). 2:19 total. Need to break an hour to the top. Should be doable on a better day.

| | 7 up corner canyon. Kept is really slow. Not feeling great and don't want to dig too deep. Actually enjoyed being a "jogger" tonight rather than a runner!

| | Started at Nuns Park, ran first 17ish miles of Squaw Peak 50 course. Down Spring Canyon and across BoSho trail to Rock Canyon. Up Rock Canyon and back to Nuns via SP 50 course.
Lots of snow up there. Several feet from big avalanches and debris covering the road to just snow filled road and difficult traverses. Got a little of everything. Sun, rain, snow. Perfect day (10.5 hr jaunt).

1 mile warm up. 8.5 mile race. 1358 vert. Legs a bit tired from Monday but surprising good. Fast on the downhill and better than average day for me on the uphills.

| | Massive bonk. Failed at 20 mile run attempt. Trying for 100 miles this week and missed it by 6 (and I don't care). Too much snow on north side of north timp (timpooneke rd). Impassable with soft deep snow. Wheels came off and no amount of gu or nutrition was helping...may be having iron issues.

| | Incredible run from top of left fork hobble creek following 22 miles of squaw peak 50 course to big springs. Bozung hill and windy pass not bad, snow but not a huge amount. Surprisingly (for me) was the amount of snow of the descent from windy to big springs. very difficult navigating and trying to stay on the trail with 6 ft of snow. got lucky and using my mad radar stayed on course and got the group down. incredible day.

| | Wasatch Trail Run Series Race #5 (Corner Canyon)
1.6 mile warm-up, .7 cool down, 7.7 mile race.
Great new sections of trail. Red potato, potato hill, ++. Great route. I think I came in 5th? Fast bunch again. Top guys, untouchable.
Happy to have taken the CR (Strava) on Creekside DH (6:03mm) section against some really fast dudes--Tobie Harrell and Nate Blouin.

| | AF Canyon
Was ready to hit the trails heading up to Timpooneke area and kept looking up at the hill across the parking lot thinking...I should do that. From the big bend before the parking lot took the ridge straight up to the top--very steep and overgrown. 1500 ft in 1 mile to the AF Canyon overlook. Nice run back via trail #173 (mud springs) to Pine Hollow parking lot. Beautiful meadows up to highly recommend it. 5 mile total. It would be 8 from the parking lot to the overlook and back. Wouldn't really recommend the climb to most as it really chewed my legs up.

| Race: |
Timp Trail Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:34:34, Place in age division: 1 | | No taper or real strategy for this one just using it as a long run. Early miles and climbs difficult as usual. Fell in behind some good guys for a few miles and kept a pretty good pace once on the fire road. After a quick stop, ran solo for the remainder of the race. Held a good steady climb up the green monster and Grove Creek section. Didn't feel particulary fast, just held a nice fast hiking pace.
Really started raining at Indian Springs and through the meadow section. Soaking wet from moisture on plants down low. Once on the downhill heading into Battle Creek, passed a few runners and started to hit my stride. Pretty muddy going into the Curly Springs area--nothing like previous years but slick nonetheless.
Hammered it hard coming down in to Dry Canyon and then from the rock pile to the finish, dropping into the 6's and 7's and passing a few more guys as well as a lot of the half marathoners. On a couple of occasions I heard "oh, not YOU again." It seems I'm getting a reputation for passing runners late in a race, particularly on the downhill sections.
Huge PR for me on this one by 25 minutes. Happy with the result although I really didn't feel much faster in any given section over the previous 3x I've done this one.
Great day with a lot of friends and trail folk.

| | Box Elder Peak.
Trai+ #44 up to stream crossing, took avalanche/stream up couloir to saddle then to peak. From peak went north down on of the westerly ridges. Deep snow, 6ft +, way finding difficult but managed to find trail and got out of there without any issues. Beautiful day up high. Love this late spring jaunt.

| | Six flat miles on the murdock canal. Craving some flat miles. I've stomped all over these mountains and haven't seen a rattle snake for two years now. Hop on the murdock canal and BAM! baby rattler crossing the trail in the first half mile.
