The plan for Saturday was to run the last third of the MMM course. Then, as we were driving to The Canyons at 8:30 a.m., I remembered that the gondola does not begin running until 10:00 a.m. Rats.
So we switched gears and headed to Silver Lake Lodge at Deer Valley to run the first third of the course. While sitting at El Chubasco several hours later, I kept having the same two thoughts: (1) the first third of the course is hilly; and (2) I need to start nice and slow.
We did somewhere between 16 and 18 miles in 3 hours and 20 minutes. My legs felt stiff and weird for most of the morning, and we did a fair amount of standing around, futzing with packs, and walking. Race day should go better.
