I had a really nice easy run up to the summit via Ann's trail. I didn't see anyone on the lower trail and I just got into a good groove and enjoyed the run up. At the VB trail I saw a hiker up ahead and quickly passed him and then ran it up to the summit. I stretched my hammy and started feeling like my energy was lacking, but I didn't take a gel because I figured I would be down quick, but that was a mistake.

The run down was a mess. After only a half mile my energy was very low and I was feeling really depleted. It had been 5 hours since I had anything to eat and I should have just stopped to grab a gel out of my pack, but I didn't and I paid for it the last two miles. I felt pretty crappy running it in and it really slowed me down a lot.

maybe there was just something in the air around there Friday morning. I did the same 'crash and burn' run! Downhill is easy, but we still pound it out. I'm glad you made it in one piece. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger...right?
