Parish Creek Trail to Skyline, 11 miles 4,017 verty

If my pace seems hella slow, it was. Felt like poo the entire way. 

OK so I had a rough start on the day. I got home, ate, got some rest, did some yard work and then planned to change the situation. At 5PM I drove up to Little Cottonwood Canyon and ran up to the Pfeifferhorn. Summit in 1:25:30, my best time. Nobody complimented my sweaty upper body nudity. 4316 verty


When I finished the Pfeifferhorn run I drove straight to JUNs house in Draper and met him, Scott and Kreuzer. We then went and did a ten mile night run on some nice Draper trails. By that time I was back to being hella slow so that rounded out the day to where I had started. 1880 verty


Total vert for the day: 10,213

That trail is a blog from my inlaws house. I need to drop the kids off there one time and we can run it in the evening. What say you?

I say o my heck yes. It is a pretty good trail. Ten miles with 4,000. My first time up and I've decided it will be my Green Mountain. Two of those per day is my eventual consistent training goal.

Not to bust your bubble on an amazing day, but as it turns out, according to my garmin, last night's run was only 1840 vert. Still puts you right around 10,000. Killer day man.

Nice runs! How was the over growth on the parish creek trail? The one time I took it further up the mountain (early in the spring) it was a leg scratcher

Monster day. Sounds like good times.

You're a total trooper! Nice job. That is crazy :)

JK the Parish Creek trail was bushy but not too bad. Higher up there is a fern meadow, very green, lush and moist but not a problem.

Helluva strong effort. Bushy and moist.
