Noon - 15.5 Pine Lake. As usual, I was pretty drained by this morning, and I just couldn't get out of bed. But I finally did get going just before noon. James and I ran up on top of the mountain to the Powell Point lookout at 10100 feet. It was a lot of fun running with him and the views were some of the best on earth - absolutely amazing stuff! Then I started running down the mountain and told them to pick me up on the way down. I thought I would get around 2-3, but as I picked up the pace, the goal became to get further and further. They finally caught me with 1 to go and I just ran it in. Time for the 10k down was right at 31 minutes. With miles between 4:50-5:20. Felt good to get a decent push in. (VertK 216) |
