Road up Big Cottonwood then up Emigration. Round trip was 70 miles in about 4 hours. Borderline bonk but felt ok at the end. Amazing what a Gu can do. Last 3 days on my bike totaled 160 miles and 15,500 ft of climbing. I found this list of 86 rules you must follow if you road bike. http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/ Many of them sound ridiculous (e.g. no camel backs, no sleeveless shirts, bike must cost more than the car it's on, must wear sunglasses, etc.) but for the most part people seem to follow them. Although I don't think the list is as long, there also seems to be a list of unwritten road and trail running rules.
Road Running Rules:
#1- no baggy shorts (took me a few years to give into this one, in my first marathon I wore a swimming suit) #2 - no shirts with sleeves, can't run shirtless (I used to pride myself on being the first finisher who wore a t-shirt) #3 - can't carry water bottles or camel backs #4 - either ankle socks or compression socks, nothing in between #5 - no stopping allowed for pictures #6 - obsession with miles and time #7 - minimal to no talking allowed on pre-race bus ride #8 - must post pre and post race miles for any race shorter than a marathon #9 - cross training is only done when legs are incapasitated
And the Trail Running Rules (Jon or the other trail guys, please feel free to add or change)
#1 - no white shoes #2 - no racing singlets, allowed to run shirtless
#3 - must carry a water bottle or camel back #4 - wear gators at every opportunity, even if there is a 10% chance of rain #5 - guys with long hair and bandanas are cool #6 - only allowed to run a road 5k on Thanksgiving #7 - allowed to take pictures during race
#8 - obsession with running on everything except asphalt and concrete #9 - running on the treadmill is an ultimate sin I think I have an identity crisis because I don't fall into one of these groups and I go back and forth on which one I like the best.
