View Benchmark peak with Jun:
Hot, muggy and sweaty out there today folks. We started from Coyote Hollow in Draper and ran up to View Benchmark. It was hot and humid from the start and I had sweat in every nook and cranny for most of the run. We had a good time chatting on the way up and both of us were feeling the effects of the heat. At the top of the connector trail we stopped so I could fill up my water and then we pushed it up to the summit of VB. We decided to hit the smaller sub peak to the west and I hiked the last of that because it is a steep and rocky motha.
Back down the VB trail to the drinking fountain for more water and then Jun took off fast back to the trailhead. I kept him in my sights until the last mile and then he put a decent gap on me. I was still running sub 8 most of the way, so he must have been moving well. We had a ton O' fun despite the heat. |
