Breezy morning at Scott's house. The weather was supposed to be bad Tuesday and Wednesday so Scott and I decided to do a tempo run. It didn't go very well.

3m (5:14,5:28,5:28)

Last two were into a bit of a head wind. Felt blah.

Felt good. Last few were tough. Scott wasn't feeling great, he skipped one near the end and then punished me on the last one.

MOUNTAIN RUN

Brandon, Reed and I met at the Orem soccer park intent on tagging Baldy.

We headed up the water tower hill to the Bonnaville Shorline Trail. From there we headed north across the foot hills to Battle Creek Canyon. Then up the steep trail to the saddle between Baldy and Timp. It was chilly but gorgeous. I was beat and ready to take a nap at this point. But no, we had to summit! So up we went, through the snow, up to the top. The view as awesome!

Then we went down to the saddle, met up with the great wester trail that took us across dry canyon to the trails above provo canyon. These eventually met up with the fire road which took us back to the cars.

It was a great day but I was beat. I don't have a lot of confidence on the downhill rocky trails so I was putting the breaks on the whole way down. Brandon, on the other hand, flew down the trails with reckless abandon. 

I took a few good photos, including this one of Brandon:
