Early morning Timp. Summit with Ben, Nate, and Neasts. I was a little worried after bonking pretty hard on the way down a few weeks ago on our night summit. Got there at 4:00AM and the parking lot was full. Had to shuttle some cars down the road and did not get started until about 4:30. I pretty much ran with Ben the whole way up. 1:58 moving time to the top. Felt pretty strong on the way up. There was a lot of waiting on hikers on the way up and down.
Hung out at the shack at the top, refueled, and took some pictures then headed down, we stayed together on the way down. Felt fairly strong the whole way down, 1:34 return trip. With all the waiting on hikers and not killing ourselves. Legs are feeling pretty good now, just need a nap.
It was like we were rock stars running up past the hikers.... |
