Wow new month already! Yikes that 100 is coming up too fast. First real run of the week. It felt good to take a few easy days after Saturday. Started at Wheeler to Maples to the CW overlook and back. On the way up, when I came off of Maples onto the trail up to the over look I slowed a bit to hit my gel and drink some water. 2 guys on bikes tried to pass me, I took a sip of my water, but it back in the holster, gave the guy a glance and shifted gears and took off, leaving them in the dust! I got to the top hung out, watched the sunset and headed down, passing them still on the way up, both gave me a funny look. I love that we can run up hill faster than most people on bikes, like revenge for all the times they about kill me on blind corners and I think it kinda blow their mind. Anyway, I got out late and had the pleasure of running up in nice evening shade and caught the sunset from the overlook and raced the fading light back to the car. I lost, and ended up runnning the last 3 down a very dark trail with a crappy light. 14 miles 2450 vert. 9:04 pace. |
