Jardine Juniper - Up at the crack of dawn to beat the crowds to the trails. It worked for the most part. I biked up to the tree at a easy-med effort. I hit the first summit at 33:33 and the tree at 55:00. I quickly dropped the bike and gear and ran in circles swatting the mosquitos before running the loop at the top. It turns out it is 1.5 miles with 250' Vertical per loop. The trail is nice and dry this time on the loop (although the 2 stream crossings earlier were nasty). First loop in 13 mins. Second loop in 12:06. Third and final running loop in 12:25. I loved it. It was sure nice to run on trails at altitude mostly pain free. Things did get tight the last .5 mile so I called it good. I quickly donned my bike gear and did the loop on the bike for comparison. 10:12. So its faster to bike it by about 2 mins. Times up, down the trail to the car. 22:45 counting stopping for bikes and hikers where necessary and stopping in the creek crossing to soak the knee for a min. What a blast! T Bike - 1:28 - 2250' Vert T Run - 38:00 - 750' Vert
