Malan's peak tonight. Its been a while, and I think that this trip was one of only a few this year on completly dry, snow free trail. Moderate pace, topped out at just a scratch under 37:00 and continued into the Basin for a river and back RT. Going to the creek in Malan's Basin added about a mile and another few hundred feet of climb, making thr RT from 27th just under 6 miles and 2400 vert. Made the RT in 1:07, but I should give myself a miniute mulligan for the bush that caught my headphone chord and ripped the da*# thing right off my body! I had to dig around in the weeds looking for my player, none the worse, just dropped a few sweet words. Doc C. says he's run that RT in under an hour, that's fast run'en! |
