This was my first time out on these trails. I started from the Kings parking lot and went counter-clockwise. It was a wet day and started raining more while I was running along the top of the loop. There are some fun technical sections and other more flowy parts where I could get moving. The final descent down from Kings is steep but smooth and I really sent it - took one big fall after slipping in a puddle but was able to keep rolling. I finished the loop in 1:45:12 (starting and ending at the parking lot). I took a quick break to dry off, change shoes, and refill bottles before heading back out and running the loop again in the clockwise direction. I'm including the link to the full two loop adventure since I kept my watch running. The stop at my car was 3:31 which strava seems to have included in the segment time so it didn't give me the CR. The garmin link makes it easy to see the point where I finished the first loop.
