Wayne picked up Paul and me and we drove up to meet Larry at the
parking lot at Deer Creek Dam. We ran along the gravel trail on the
north side of the reservoir from the dam up to the train station in
Midway.
The weather
was perfect, with partly sunny skies, moderate temperatures, and just
enough of a breeze to keep us cool. I carried a bottle of water and
dropped it about 4.25 miles out.
There
is a nice variety of uphill and downhill along the route, climbing
ridges and dropping into small valleys in between. The combination of
running on gravel and all the uphill and downhill made the run feel
more like an 18 or 20 mile run than 16. The pace wasn't fast, about
9:30/mi overall, but it was a great workout.
