Went to the bottom of Butterfield Canyon and did 12 miles. 6 miles up in 50:23. 6 miles down in 31:14. Mile 4-5 going up is so damn steep! I did a 9:18 on that mile. It hurt coming down in that section as well. I seriously do not know how they are going to have a marathon coming down this canyon. Its too steep in parts. My quads are ripped up.

Yes that course seems ridiculous! You know it must be steep when the splits are almost 20 min apart!

Andrea, They are claiming it as the fastest course in Utah but it is the worst first 8 miles, worse then Des News course. I was thinking if I ran it would bank my time from the first 8. But I would be walking at mile 18 if I did. I didnt have a point going down where I could feel my legs trying to work. They were just slapping.

What race is this? Sounds harmful!:) oh and clean up your language before I report you to Sasha. Thanks.

Tara its the Herriman half, full and trail run. On the 19th of may. I was just starting to get comfortable about talking more on here. Lol

From Tara on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:19:08 from 75.169.150.43

Oh, that's the one you were talking about. Well, you probably shouldn't get too comfortable. Geeze, I'm a brat:)

Good to have some competition and keep me on my toes!

From Kam on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:26:47 from 63.230.19.59

Tara, leave Walter alone. Keep picking on Burt, though.

From Tara on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:28:36 from 75.169.150.43

Kam, you're not supposed to be reading this. As far as you know, I am nice. I'd like to keep it that way. Where is burt anyway? I hate him.

From Kam on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:37:59 from 63.230.19.59

Sorry. I'll stay off Walter's blog from now on. True story: I ran into Walter leaving the expo in Boston this year. We were waiting on a shuttle bus, and I saw a skinny guy with a Bryce Canyon Half Marathon shirt and backpack. I had my daughter yell "Walter!" while we watched said skinny guy to see if he flinched. He did. It's a small world after all.

From Walter on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:41:01 from 97.185.194.183

Thanks Kam.

Tara, you shouldn't harbor negative feelings toward others. We don't use the H word in our home. Lol

From Tara on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:45:23 from 75.169.150.43

Kam- lolol!

Walter- sorry. I Have Hard feelings against Him. Lots of H words.

From Walter on Tue, May 08, 2012 at 22:45:33 from 97.185.194.183

Kam. I told my wife about that and Kim, my neighbor who I was hanging out with was telling her parents how no matter where we were everyone knew me. Then all of the sudden I here someone yelling my name on a bus. Funny.
