Master 1890 Gig Harbor | Subject: Utah Training Partners Needed I am doing a "training" road trip in May and am looking for training partners while I am in Salt Lake City. All details are available in my Road Trip Thread. Hoping you Utahans (is that right?) can come through for me and show me an awesome bike ride / run while there. |

Master 1890 Gig Harbor | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed Salt Lake is a big city - surely there is a triathlete willing to play tour guide / training buddy for a day. Come on Guys (and gals) step your game up! |

Master 3479 Utah | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed Did you have any luck getting hooked up with the Iron Cowboy? I think that's probably your best bet. The second best would be Desert Sharks FB page. You could also try Coach Keena (Schaerrer?) and her CK Elite Tri team, but they're also inUtah county, although the north end of utah county. |

Member 215 The Heeb, UT | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed It's worth noting that you're in town the day after the Ogden Marathon. This is a reasonably popular race for the region (I believe it's sold out for this year), and as such, many potential training partners will be recovering. Also of note is the day-of-week. Many observant members of the predominant religion in the state take Sundays off.
Best of luck! SYJ |

Best of luck! SYJ I was going to point that out, too. It's also the day after a fairly well attended sprint and olympic race in St George. Let us know what ends up happening! |

Master 1890 Gig Harbor | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed I just sent Iron Cowbow a message on FB... Also going to check out the FB page you mentioned. Thanks for the advice. Really hoping this comes together - I'm sure there are some beautiful rides / runs near SLC. |

Looking for the best SLC has to offer. I heard back from Iron Cowboy, he can't ride with me that day, but he is helping to find me a tour guide. Anyone in Salt Lake area planning on a bike run brick Sunday? I would love to join you. I have no hotel reservations, and will be driving in from Denver, so I could meet you anywhere. |

Elite 4148 Utah | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed I won't be back in town until about 6 (and who knows HOW well I will be moving - note my log w/ no workouts and Oly this weekend) Option #1: 26 mile bike ride (Wasatch Blvd @ 215 to top of Emmigration Canyon) and shorter 7mi run in Millcreek Canyon starting from Birch Hollow (you'll have a short 10 min drive b/t the two, but it's the best of the best for what we offer out here , IMHO) The bike ride starts at the North end of Wasatch blvd (exit 3300 south on 215 East belt) and turn left at the redlight by Eastwood Elem. Hit the trail and follow it over I80. Take the sidewalk to the first redlight and go right, Wasatch blvd begins again on left hand side. Follow this all the way to Crestview and take a left (after going through golf course) There will be a TON of cyclist on this route. TO RUN: You really could just put your shoes on and run from here... OR Go south on Wasatch to the second redlight (Millcreek Canyon) take Left (bring $3 w/ you to leave the canyon). Drive up the canyon to Birch Hollow (gravel parking lot on left above the restaurant named Log Haven). Hit the trail and don't take any sharp turns (that will keep you on trail) Beware, it's off leash day
Hope that helps!! |

Master 3479 Utah | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed If it were me I'd pick option 5 or option 1. I won't be able to be your tour guide though, I won't be back from Ogden Marathon weekend with Team in Training. Hope something works out well for you! Sorry Utah isn't givingyou the warmest welcome so far!

Elite 4148 Utah | Subject: RE: Utah Training Partners Needed Hey Rat! You going to have access to internet on your phone? I can map out that Wasatch to Traverse Route again and send you the link on Map My Ride. PM me an e-mail addy if you'd like. Or you can e-mail me at verret_hm at hotmail dot com and I'll respond w/ a link. Hope the road trip goes well. btw... My mom came across on 80 last weekend (from Denver). She mentioned that summer construction had already begun, but it didn't seem to slow her trip down. |
