I wanted to do 15 mountain miles today. I was going to go down to Mount Wirghtson to get some altitude as well. Unfortunately I didn't have that much time with family and church responsibilities. I opted to do a couple of trips up Wasson peak. Instead of just going up and down the same trail 2 times I took some different trails. It was fun the other trail up to the ridge is steeper than the one I usually take. I think it has the same vert but gains it all at once instead of having semiflat sections in the middle. That was a really hard mile. I think it was more difficult also because I did it after having already gone up one time. I am going to need to do that section more often though. It is much more rocky though and not as nice a trail. It was a beautiful morning spent in the desert. It is starting to get hot. I ran out of water towards the end. I also saw the first snake of the season.Time 2:45:36 AP 12:07.
