Drove down to Orem with Fritz to meet the Utah county crew. Matt, Scott, Mike, Zak and Reed. I warmed up .5 then 10 miles up the canyon at a decent clip (7:06 with net 800 ft up). Then we split up and I did an 8 mile tempo back down the canyon with Reed. Splits were 5:31, 5:54, 5:51, 6:07, 5:54, 5:59, 6:05 and 6:06; 5:56 avg. 2:32:29 total for the run - 6:47 avg.
I had planned on doing 10 at marathon pace but I had to start working to hold pace in the last mile. I probably still had a bit of Thursday's tempos in my legs.
My first time doing the canyon run and I got lost being alone going back into the neighborhoods and tacked on two miles of wandering around. I even got to jump a fence. Nice morning and a good crew.
