View Benchmark Peak solo:

This wasn't the best run I have ever had, but I got it done. I did VB via Ann's starting on Vintage View. I felt pretty good at the start and was hitting my groove and then I was thinking about how I want to handle my W100 aid stations/crew/drop bags and I caught a toe on a rock and took a gnarly digger. Luckily my water bottle took most of the abuse, but I landed on my hip and my sore knee. I was a bit shaken and moving slow after that until a great song by PIL came on the iPod and I picked it back up.

Just before the summit I inhaled a gnat. Awesome. After a pretty severe coughing episode I finally hacked the little guy up. :) Hit the summit and turned right around and went down. It was pretty hot, but I enjoyed a nice cruise back to the car.

that's pretty impressive hacking skills. I've never gotten one to come back up successfully. you'll have to teach me the art.
