Antelope Island

 With Matt W (Dorsimus) for a preview of the 100 mile course. My intent today was to cover at least 40 miles including the uphill portion and then the Ranch out and back. Midway through the run it became clear I was having an "off" day. Legs are sore, which slowed me considerably so I called it good after 19 miles. On the other hand, Matt was solid and finished five minutes ahead of me. I know I can do much better so I will consider this one a kick in the butt to motivate me.

 The takeaway from this training run is I would like to be able to complete that first 19 miles  under 3 hours on race day.

I think it was good to get some miles in on the course. too bad you weren't feelin' it out there today. Hopefully you were able to move some decent product though.

No product placement today.

I'll put it this way: I felt a lot better after my Grandeur Loop double (20+ miles and 6500 feet vert) than this 19 mile 2287 vert. I think it's the shoes. Uphill in Lone Peaks wrecks me.

Sucks the legs weren't feeling it. Sounds like it was a great day to be running out there though.
