Running The North Face Endurance Challenge Park City 10k
I’ve not been running much. After a few years of really getting after it (Ultra RAGNAR, Mid-Mountain Marathon) I’ve scrapped the running shoes and focused on mountain biking.

Meanwhile, mountain bike technology went through the roof. Fast forward to the present, and competing Utah resorts like Canyons stepped up with modern bike parks. Well, those days of being…
