Got up feeling amazingly good considering the distance and time on my feet yesterday. We picked a relatively short trail knowing we probably wouldn't have much in the legs today. It was a softer, less technical trail than yesterday and I would have been able to run most of the 2.1 out had it not been ALL uphill. As it was, I combined a walk/jog to cover the distance. From the 2.1 point it was another 1.5 hike up a steep and rocky section. This portion was a true hike. Impossible to run even if I had wanted to. Tim had to keep me going on this part as I was having trouble adjusting to the altitude. That and I'm a wus. Anyway, I'm glad he did because the views at the top were astounding. There was a lake at the top that was just incredible. So, a hike back down and then a solid run the last 2.1 into the parking area. Total time was about 2:08. I think getting any time in today was a positive.
We then drove up later to the Continental Divide. Amazing!
