WASATCH TRAIL RUN SERIES (CORNER CANYON) 2.25 mi warm-up / 8.3 mi race (including .4 extra miles going off course--all uphill of course). Ended up tied for 6th (?) place. Why I thought this was a good idea after El Vaquero Loco on Saturday is still a mystery. Felt great for the first 2.5 uphill miles, then final mile or so still climbing wiped me out. Tired legs kicked in and I started to unravel. Downhill wasn't much of a relief struggling to keep a good pace going. Guy in front of me wasn't going to be caught and I had a good gap on the guy behind me so I decided to figbt just to hold my position. Coming down Clarks at a pretty good clip took a wrong turn and headed quarter mile back up the trail. I saw the error of my ways about the same time one of the lead guys was on his way down having also taken the wrong turn. I latched on to him and we ran a fast 2 miles downhill to the finish passing one runner who had passed me on the extra distance--no harm done just a lousy time. Post race fell into a crazy dilusional slump. Dizzy, slurring my words, seeing spots...what the heck!? Feeling a little better since but wow. On a positive note the view from high up corner canyon of the sunsetting, smoke filled sky was exceptional.
