Maybe I'll try to resurrect my training blog just to keep track of some of the fun things we've been doing, all of which involve avoiding triathlon! Last weekend we had a quick, very quick, getaway to St. George. I tried to find the easiest bike trail I could, and found the perfect single track for me. It was challenging as far as the uphill goes and I had to push outside my comfort zone to ride up some steps, take a deep breath and have no choice but to go for it on the second set. Lower Secret Sauce is the harder part of the trail, that's where the climbing is, when you hit Upper Secret Sauce a very fun downhill starts, easy, beginner turns, and baby whoop de whoops.
The plan was to relax on our paddleboards for the afternoon, we went to Quail Creek State Park and got an awesome camping spot but the wind and afternoon chop was wicked.
We hadn't been to Ivins Reservoir but thought it would be a good idea to go check it out. It was; it's very teeny, and perfect to relax, but think little pond, not like what you imagine a reservoir.
This picture actually makes it look quite impressive, it's not really, I don't have a picture of what it really looks like. It's a kiddie pool for paddleboarding, just what I like. After the reservoir we went back to Quail Creek, this place is a gem. The plan was to get an early morning paddle on the lake before the wind and hit Secret Sauce again--nope, didn't happen. Last weeks CrossFit was catching up to us, we managed to wash the van and head home before the traffic got too bad.
I would definitely like to go mountain biking there again, there's a connector trail called Pushing Tin which is supposed to be pretty fun.
