Super duper run up at Alta this morning. Up to the Albion Basin campground and around the loop several times. Ended up running 12.25 in 1:39.

We moved the run from our usual 6 PM because of the ridiculous amount of traffic up at the top the past couple weeks. The town of Alta needs to do something about that because it's ruining the whole area. 

PM: One mile of swimming in a local swimming pool.

Wow, how much of that did you run uphill? Sounds like most of it.

It's exactly 50/50 uphill and downhill Steve. Mostly uphill the first half and downhill at the end.

Nice run, Rob. Sounds like you did some serious climbing.

Um, since you are the coach at Alta high, are you contractually obligated to train at Alta resort? Or do you just like the parsimony?

Sweet workout Rob. I swam so much last year with my injuries. Your posts remind me of those times...
