View Benchmark Peak solo:

I had this brilliant idea to go run VB in the afternoon when the temps in SLC were 102. I had a very busy day and that was about the only time I could fit in a run, plus I could count it as heat training.

I didn't see another soul on the trails. It was just me and Def Leppard and the miserable heat. I was slow and it was a slog, but I ran it all up to the summit where I took a break to check out the view. It never gets old. On the way down the heat really took it out of me and it was a struggle to hit anything resembling a fast pace. I still had a great time and enjoyed some time to clear my head and think even if it was a sweat-fest.

One thing about that course is that it doesn't have a whole lot of shade, so I can kind of imagine that run being miserable. Still, it's good practice for the racing you're going to do, I guess.

Nice heat training! I would count it as double miles :)
