Grander Peak with long lost friend Marty and new friend Jen. Marty had a baby a couple months ago and spent the entire hike up apologizing for her speed. 2 months post baby---she did awesome! I am SOOOOOOOO happy to have Marty here. Our husbands were BFFs in high school and Marty and I became friends in college. What fun.
We start the downs, I take the lead, and Marty follows just inches behind me. Hmmmm.... So I pick it up a bit in the technical sections and she keeps up, awesome! Her core (post-baby stretching) got tired halfway down and she slowed a tad bit. By tad bit I mean she still flew! Awesome!! I am super duper excited to have another chica who loves the downhills. As she recovers, I am excited to take her down Blanche and Bobsled, my two personal favorite downhills.... :)
