Well it was a good one at the first and then ended not so good... PAced a good friend at Wasatch from LAmbs Cyn to Brighton... his goal was sub 24 and he got into LAmbs feeling Ok took a 10-12 minute break and then we were off didn't push real hard for the climbing part but as soon as we hit the saddle he turned it up and we ran 80% of the rest all the way to upper big water... he took a 10 min break and we were off... which I was stoked about, cause last time I did this section we did it all in the dark... we got to the first lake just as it was getting dark... dead dog lake?? not sure if that is correct, doesnt' sound right as I write it... pushed on and he was still doing great running all the flats and downhill and power hiking strong on the ups... got to deso Lake, he kept going as I filled H2O bottles and when I caught him a few minutes later something had changed he was barely moving and not feeling to hot, we plauded on at a very slow pace to Scotts Aid Station... and he was beat, he went in the warm tent(somewhat warm), it was freezing up there,they said in the upper 20's with a slight wind... he hung out for 30 minutes or so with a couple barf sessions(outside of the tent) I huddled around the small heater... and then I realized if we didn't keep going he was going to hunker down and stay too long, so I got him going and we headed out... it was freezing, i wanted to turn around and head back to the kinda warm tent... he wasn't movin to good... got down to the pavement where his wife met us and took him into the brighton lodge... my run was finished... good times and hard times, I felt great overall and the INTRIGUE of the 100 miler grew deeper... I am getting closer to actually signing up for one!!
Shane ended up resting 3 hrs, went back to the spot he got picked up and finished strong... 29 hrs and change with atleast 4.5 hrs of downtime... impressive! |
