Suncrest ? Traverse Ridge today. Chris (Barney Boy) and Sam "Saint" Garrard (Samgee) were the only two that showed up. It was cold and windy but the snow had not started to fall yet. We started on Southfork Rd. and headed up to the top of Suncrest. It is a grueling 4 miles up! We started to separate a couple miles into it. The pace was a little too fast for the Saint and then he took a fall and banged the knees up. I lost Chris when I kept getting people in cars stopping and asking me if the Saint was okay, and Chris never broke stride once. Chris was mioving fast the last half mile too and pulled even further away from me. We all got to the top and started back, 38 minutes for the 4.1 for me. we took it slow at first and then I started to cruise down by myself. The terrain is steep so it is hard not to fly but it pounds the legs too. I went 5:58, 5:31, and a 5:21 to finish out the run. The legs were hammered, but it felt good at the same time, and it was a great overall run. 1:08:58 for the 9 miles. |
