Summit junkie!

Mt Wire solo:

It was really hot and humid out there today, so I was really sweating. I was feeling sluggish at the start and it took me about a mile to get into it, but I was able to push the pace more the higher I went. To the summit in 44:00 and I only stayed long enough to turn around and head down. 1:10 total time.

PM: Weights at the gym for an hour. It was sooooo hot in there tonight. I was sweating all over the bench. num.

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.

View Benchmark solo:

Up at 4:00 am to hit the trails. Ran to the summit of VB. It was still dark when I started and one of the planets (Venus?) was incredible in the eastern sky. I also saw one of the biggest falling stars I have ever seen. So cool. I put in a really solid effort and when I finished I still had some time so I went back up two miles and then ran fast back to the trailhead. I didn't see another person on the trail.

View Benchmark and sub peak solo:

I really enjoyed this run although I saw more people on the trail than I ever have before.
