So my training for Bryce is in the can. What do I do with myself now while I wait?Eat ice cream? Go for a hike? I am less concerned with getting miles than just staying active and loose. I've decided to go after some small FKTs (Fastest Known Times) around here. Tonight I went to Adams Canyon in Kaysville. I ran up to the falls and got the 'course record' by one minute - 24 minutes 15 seconds. I was on course for the car to car record of under 39 minutes but I got way off course and even found myself on the wrong side of the creek. Dammit. I got back on trail and managed to get the 2nd fastest time of 43 minutes. Ryan L still hold the fastest by 3 minutes. I was pretty well spent after that effort and just wanted to go home. But I went over to climb some trails near Farmington canyon. I went up the Spinetrail, and checked out the Old aquaduct trail on the South side of the canyon. The trail needs lots of love, but if developed it would be quite a nice one. I climbed up the Spine trail to 6300 feet. Ryan L. did some nice work on that one.

Later this week I am going for the FKT (as far as Strava is concerned) of the Mueller PArk trail to Elephant rock. Maybe during lunch.

I'm particularly fond of the many iron rings protruding from that old aquaduct trail. It makes for some high-knee running if you want to keep moving fast.

You're going to kill Bryce. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

The number of half-burried iron hoops up there is almost too much to fathom, seeing how long that aqueduct used to be. Some poor sucker is going to have a nice trip one day as he gets a foot caught under on of those rings.
