I've been to the summit.

Ran along the Robie Creek course today. I started about a mile and a half up on Rocky Canyon road where the houses end and went to the top and back. It was a great day for a run, chilly but the sun was out and the road was dry. Lots of folks out there today with only two weeks before the race. My New Year's race friend Tony was starting just as I was finishing up.

I finished in 2:01 last year, so my goal is to finish under 2 hours this time. Based on my time today, it will be close, but doable. Running up there gave me some confidence that I can get to the top this year without totally tanking it -- although tanking it certainly isn't out of the question.

Nice run. My son and I didn't make it over there until about 1pm. I can't believe how steep that last mile is. I walked the last half mile. I was only able to make it to about .85 miles below the summit a few weeks ago due to snow and ice. At least I now know what I'm in for. I feel pretty good about my downhill speed and endurance so hopefully I can make up a couple of minutes on the downhill. Tanking it is not all that unlikely though.
