Made a second attempt on the Mueller Park trail for the "catch me if you can" challenge. According to the post on Striders blog, my previous attempt put me in third place. Today's time was 2:16 faster than last weeks. My time up was 35:44 and the total time was 59:04. Which is good enough for 2nd place. That is if they haven't received any faster times that haven't been posted yet. I think that I can still shave another 5 minutes off of my time. 3 minutes faster going up and 2 minutes faster coming down.

Nice job. I love that trail - hopefully you'll shave off the time you expect.
