View Benchmark solo

From Vintage View. I was the only person on the trail today. I had a really good time thinking and enjoying the trail until about the 1.5 mark when the mud started. It was bad for about a mile, but above the connector trail I only hit mud on the steep ramp before the summit ridge.

The wind picked up and blew hard the last 1.4 to the top. It was so cold that by time I hit the summit and made it back down my hands and ears were numb. It was one of the coldest sumits I've been on. Part of the problem was I was in shorts and didn't have gloves. It was a pretty fun day overall though.

PM: An hour of weights at the gym with Kristina. There was a druggy in there acting weird and the fuzz had to come remove him.

View Benchmark with CraigL and Jennilyn:

We had a very enjoyable run up to the summit chatting and laughing. The weather was balmy compared to yesterday. Ran a little faster than yesterday up and down. Good day.

PM: Bootcamp at the gym with Kristina. Hiit, core and sprints.

Mount Wire with Jennilyn and Jenny:

It was a perfect day for a mountain run. Jennilyn met me at the trailhead after just putting up the womens FKT on the summit route. She was up in 34 minutes. Amazing! We took it a little slower and enjoyed the climb. Down the Hollow and back on the BST.

Little Cottonwood quarry trail with CraigL:

Lunch run. It was a perfect day for a trail run. The weather was excellent and the trail did not disappoint. Craig pushed the pace all the way up and down. It was a really good training run. We finished in just under an hour.

PM: Bootcamp with Kristina. Hiit, core and sprints. LEGS.

Ave Twins and Little Black Mountain with Jennilyn:

What an incredible day! Once we got on the upper BST we didn't see another soul until we were on our way back down. We hit the Twins and then went up Little Black, which is one of my favorite peaks in the Wasatch. There is a nice scramble near the top that adds some spice. It was a blast with excellent company.
