13.5 Miles
Paced Brayden from Big Mountain AS to Lambs Canyon AS during his Wasatch 100 race. This section is usually in the middle of the day and is very exposed so the heat drains you. We kept a decent pace during the climbs and tried to make up some of the ground on the downhills. There were some steep downhill sections that were slower than some of the climbing sections. Cruised through Alexander Ridge and started down the road towards Lambs. There are a bunch of rollers here that we ran but the sun was brutal. After we turned into the trees to go through the pass, Brayden gets stung by a bee and we had to slow down while he dealt with that. Once he felt better, we cruised all the way to the Lambs Canyon AS. James took over from there through the finish.
