Summit Sunday 2 - Huff Puff

Did a really nice long run yesterday - 15 miles at under 6 minute pace. With the hills and altitude, I'm happy with that for the time being. So I was going to take today easy but instead, succumbed to Andrew's offer of doing a time trial up Huff Puff Mountain.

The Climb: Easily one of the hardest things I've ever done and a lot more satisfying than the Miley Syrus song. We warmed up for it like a race and we were ready to roll. Unfortunately, Andrew didn't tell me that weren't taking a trail - we trailblazed the entire way and ran straight up the mountain. The first half mile was "runnable" as in we could use our legs but the rest of the way was done on all fours.

Distance: 1.75 miles
Total Climb: 1850 feet
Total Time: 31:44






Andrew's phone camera sucks but the great divide is still visible. It was breathtaking.
