AM - 12 miles. Alta run w/ Rob, Kevin, and the team... up out of the smoke! We saw two mooses.

I've posted this before, but I love the elevation profile of this run...

PM - 4 miles.

You can post that elevation profile every week as far as I'm concerned. Can't get too much of it.

This one is all about the Y-Axis

I can barely walk at that elevation. I must have the lung capacity of a two year old.

The first four uphill miles I'm usually hovering around 9 minute pace but my heart and lungs tell me I'm doing a hard tempo run.

Hey cool. I've never seen a moose, much less 2 meese at once, consarnit.

It takes me the course 7-10 days to climb 1000 feet! I'm at 500-700 feet o' elevation too, and I hear that makes a difference.

It's like a hyperbolic version of a track profile (at the top that is).

@Joe: The mooseibus are all over Maine, but I rarely see them. Same thing with rabbits. Here in the fine state of Indiana I see 2-3 rabbits every run and I have no idea where they hide! A deer if I am up at a reasonable hour (which is never) but no moosi.

The top actually isn't a Garmin error... we loop around a campground that is basically a big hill (although little relative to the overall run). Every lap you think "this is the last one" and then you go back down and say "ok I can do this again"... on and on and on. Its wonderful.

That is one monster of a run Jake. My runs in Show Low were tough and hilly at 6400 ft with 500-650 ft gained over 8-10 miles. Those would be a nice little warm up for this run. Nice work.
