Day 8
September 9, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments
Another day to sleep in…. ahhhhhh. Gotta rest up for the big weekend pacing Michael Wedemeyer at the Wasatch 100. Just as I was nervous to pace Andy Jones-Wilkins (his blog) at the Grand Teton 100, I feel that pacing “Weed” is more than I can handle. Fortunately, pacing AJW to a four and three-quarter [...]
Day 7 – Rest for the Weary

“… on the seventh day I rested.” Park City from the Mid-Mountain Trail. Besides the weather, the one consistent feature of my trip has been my persistent illness. I think I came into the trip worn out and within a day of arriving out West, I had a cold. Some days it has materialized as [...]

“…it’s been sublime the entire time.” Ah, a recovery day. I awoke to hot coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese waiting for me. Not a bad way to start the day. After packing up, Steve and I hit the rode. We would take the scenic route back to Park City. The first leg [...]

Onwards and Upwards

Ok, so I still haven’t had time to describe my pending Rocky Mountain trip very well. Here’s the low down that I’ll hopefully expand or reiterate over the next few days. On Thursday evening I fly out to Salt Lake City. From there my buddy and stud Inov8 runner, Steve Burton, will travel up to [...]
