Red Hot 55k


I decided to run another ultra-marathon.  I heard the Red Hot 55K was a great run.  The route follows some of the mountain bike trails in Moab.  The race is in February so it may be tough to train outdoors. My longest training run was 19 miles on a treadmill.  If I can do that, I can run 33 miles through gorgeous views in Moab.

The trail was great.  We started at Gemini Bridges and finished at the Poison Spider trail head.  Running on the slick rock was hard on my feet.  I was in pretty good shape from running on the treadmill with the exception of running downhill.
