AM: Paced Kevin Q from Lamb's to Brighton, from 10pm to 6:30 am. Can't remember the last time I was up for 28 hours straight, kinda fun! Took a really long time so I am counting all those miles because it was hard and I had to be happy the whole time! Climbed 6300 feet, which is just a small pecentage of the entire Wasatch 100. So happy he was able to finish the race, an incredible feat with all that heat!

Can't hardly wait for the Peruvian Downhill this afternoon. Going to wear my roller shoes...

PM: Thought it would be pretty stupid to run the Peruvian after 22 miles through the night and 2 hours of sleep, but then all the coffee kicked in and I was overly deliriously stoked! It ended up being worth it even if I can't walk for a few days since I won a FREE NIGHT at the Peruvian Lodge, which is going to be awesome come ski season - yay!

I had planned to run the first mile as fast as I could and then meet up with Jake and Abby. The first mile was 5:58 (ha, ha, ha!) and then I physically couldn't slow down due to gravity and inertia aka ridiculous downhill and the next one came in at 6:08. Around mile 4 this honest downhill course turned into an adventure race with speeding cars, torrential down pours, and crazy lightening strikes - so, so very frightening, I cannot believe they didn't stop traffic! Was so happy to be finished! Then an absolutely wonderful evening with great food, lots of fun with FRB-ers, and SLEEP!

I think my 2 runs today balanced each other out so I am pretty sure I wil be okay.

"Honest downhill" is my new favorite phrase :-)

What a week/weekend!

Is there such thing as "aided downhill" vs. "honest downhill"? If so, this is definitely "aided downhill! :)

Honest downhill as in it really wasn't that steep! I descended 1600 feet in 2 miles earlier that morning so ~1700 over 5 miles is pretty honest :)

haaaa -- those elevation profiles are great.

i hope you are napping now...

I would say those elevation profiles are an honest balance.

Amazing double. You are very cheery on little sleep. Thanks for entertaining the kids and the rest of us. Nice getting to know you a bit.

It was so nice meeting you at Brighton. You got to see me at my lowest point of the year. :) The high point came a few hours later. You should definitely count the miles. It is so good to see you back out on the trails again.
