Flag Rock

So the hill is nice and toasted. Fire. The trail up to Flag Rock has a funny smell, and red stains cover the rocks, from flame retardant dropped from the air. I didn't get a good look at it, as I was running up there in the pre-dawn darkness.

If I can work it out right and not get lazy, this week will be a much needed BIG week leading up to W100.

PM: Arthur's Fork/Bountiful Peak loop, 14 miles. I wanted to try my best time from where the 18 mile aid station will be to the next stop 5 miles up at the Bountiful aid. I covered the distance in 56 minutes. I will try my hardest to repeat that performance on race day.

You are doing some nice miles there, MVH. You've had such a great year of training I would really love to see it all come together for you on this 100.

We all dream of having that perfect day. But the odds are always against us. So many variables. I intend to do the best I can, knowing I have a very good race in me.
