10 miles +/-. (Est. left Garmin at the office.) Up Rock Canyon taking right fork toward Slide Canyon. First time on this section. Beautiful fall colors. Hit snow around 7,000 ft. Trail overgrown and hard to follow in snow. Followed moose tracks right to the moose! Continued to summit Y mountain, down slide canyon to the Y and cut back on the BST to the truck at RC. Completely ran out of gas coming down from the Y. Fatigue? Nutrition? I was hoping this run would help me decide about racing next weekend. Felt great until hard push to summit and paid for it on the way down. |
