The most spectacular mountain running day of my life. At least so far. The perfect un-storm in Colorado created a dry line through the Rockies which looked to last two days. Basically, perfect dry sunshine with pretty much zero chance of any clouds, lightning, or afternoon thundercells.

Starting at 3:30am I ran Mt Sheridan, then Sherman. Drove 30 minutes to Kite Lake Trailhead and summited Democrat, Lincoln, Cameron, and Bross. Got a quick breakfast in Alma and drove 30 minutes to Quandary. Ran the summit trail to Quandary, my new favorite 14er in Colorado. Had lunch in Breckenridge and summited Grays and Torrys, drove 30 minutes to Guanella Pass to try and summit Bierstadt and Evans but ran out of time since I had to catch an 8pm flight home so I could only do one more.

I trail ran eight 14,000 foot peaks and three 13,000 foot in a day. Over 42 miles of pure elevation running, nearly all above 12,500. Climbed just over 17,000 feet doing it. Wish I had more time to wrote about this incredible experience. I ran this day as fast as I could, max effort on the ascents and using the short car time as rests.

First road race in a long time. Local fundraiser Mandi put on to raise funds for the orphanage they visit every year. Sore legs but good to be running fast for a change! I took a wrong turn right at the first running with the 5k runners when I should have turned for the 10k, but backtracked the course quick. Not used to being in the lead.

Hiked the 4 mile trail to the Wind Caves with Walter and Mandi's kids afterwards.
