Big Cottonwood Canyon with Andy. Becky, Amy, and Chantall came along and shuttled with us.
I got cold hands in August, although I had to drive to nearly 9000' in elevation. I ran this route last year for the drop 13 half, but it was good to get some continuous downhill on the legs and reaccquaint myself. I wish it felt easier; my cardio was fine, but after 10-12 miles, my back was starting to feel sore. This isn't crazy steep, other than a couple short sections, but it's continuous downhill, other than one short, meadow stretch. I need to get back to the mouth of the canyon and run the wasatch blvd section.
I skipped compression sleeves on my calfs/calves, and they are sore compared to last week. My lateral glutes hurt a bit, but not so bad.
Big props to Andy for the course suggestion and logistical support. He even brought me my spectacles after I stupidly left them in his car.
