Long Trail Run with Mike - No TOU half for me again this year (still not missing it). Mike and I went up and ran Stump Hollow to the sinks - Down Turkey Trail to the junction with Little Bear Bottoms ATV trail - followed that trail up to the sinks road- down the dirt road a mile or two until we saw a sign pointing back to Peter Sinks - back down Stump. Of that big loop, 7-8 miles of it was new for me. I liked it especially since I figured I would have to come back up Turkey Trail and I didn't have to due to finding the Little Bear bottoms ATV trail route. Sweet. I was feeling pretty decent today but wanted to keep the pace mellow. No complaints about that from Mike as he decided to have a bummer of a stomach issue then a puke then a complete bonk. Poor guy, it was a rough day for him. I did a bit more at the end waiting for him and exploring over to Beaver Creek Lodge (they have a well with life-saving water when you are really thirsty). Leg was not complaining today (except for the first half mile as usual). T-3:32 (10:06) 3800' vert Oh, what a beautiful morning
