| The workout today was 10,8,6,4,2 (minutes) with half rest, so 5,4,3,2. I decided to do this one on grass, in spikes. My paces were 5:41 for the 10min, 5:48 for the 8min, 5:46 for the 6min, 5:38 for the 4min, and 5:25 for the 2min. This was a tough one, especially alone. During the 6min one I realized that I was just trying to hang on to the pace, rather than consciously pushing the pace. I made that switch and although it hurt pretty bad, I was able to do the 4min and the 2min faster. I'm happy with the effort. Weights and core after, aka death to my legs. Also, I leave for ISU in a week so that's kinda scary |

| Packing on those miles. 10 today at camp, and I was pretty darn tired the whole time... But James and I did do the last mile in 5:37 so that was interesting. Legs are dead. |

| The run today for camp was at potato hill and it was pretty darn fun. We were cruising and my legs were definitely super tired, but what's new? We had 3 sub-6's on the trail, chasing various course records. Although we didn't end up getting any because strava counts elapsed time and we were stopping to mark the course at every fork. So that was a bummer. I took the last couple miles pretty easy because my body is very very tired.
HAHAHA however. Parker, Gill, and I are going to attempt the FKT for Lone Peak tomorrow morning up Jacob's Ladder. 17% grade, 6.55 miles, and we have to do it in less than 89 minutes to get the record. 15min miles. IT'S GONNA HURT but that's alright
5672 FEET OF ELEVATION. OWWWWW.

| Alrighty. A quick introduction to Jacob's Ladder/Lone Peak. We gained 5,416 feet in 5.86 miles. Mile 3 has 1,554 feet of gain. In the last .86, you have some pretty sketchy scrambling up to the peak, like it's seriously steep and legitimately dangerous. Also, the "hike" has an "HC" classification, which is: HC climb - "Hors Categorie" - (a French term for above category) climbs are the hardest rating/score given to any climb. All climb scores are based on distance, grade/elevation change, and maximum elevation. The combination of these factors drives all final climb categories and there is no subjective analysis used in the final scoring of any climb score. HC climbs will traditionally be very long (over 10 miles), very steep (average grades above 8 to 10%), or very high (above 11,000 feet) but again some extremely steep or long climbs could alone qualify it as an HC rated climb.
We wanted the FKT (fastest known time), which is just under 90 minutes. Since we weren't anticipating taking forever, we didn't bring any water and we had just a couple gu's.
We got going, and the first couple miles went by pretty smoothly and I felt pretty strong, alternating between powerhiking in steep spots and running in runable spots. 546 and 722 feet for those miles. Then mile 3 came. I was still feeling fairly strong but it's simply not runable so we powerhiked it. 1554 feet. 668 and 774 feet for miles 4 and 5, we hit some insanely beautiful views and meadows. Somewhere in mile 5 we lost the trail, and ended up climbing up the rock face to try to get to the peak. the last .86 had 1,025 feet of gain. On the way down we ran into a couple people and asked for water, which luckily they had because we were all hurting as far as water goes. I barely kept my sanity.
This run/hike/whatever you want to call it was an insane experience and although we didn't get the FKT, it was still very worth it. Now I gotta rehydrate and rest...
Shoutout to Gill and Parker for being my buddies, my last week in Utah has been a good one.

| I did this one with Herschel, and while I felt better today, my legs were definitely still pretty heavy the whole time. We did average under 7 though so that was good. I hit 60 miles this week, more than I have ever done. I'm tired, but I feel no injuries or anything. And the miles this week weren't easy, I had some hard workouts/runs. Things are looking up for the season! |
