How anyone does the scramble up to the top of Old Rag fast is beyond me.  Started early and avoided most of the crowd.  A decent runnable uphill to start before the real scrambling began and pace slowed tremendously.  Took my time taking some rad shots before hitting the downhill.  Mile 6 got a 💩 break at the portapotties!  Miles 6-8 was a steady uphill on the fire road before hitting Robertson Trail single track, it seemed like no one had been up it in days and I didn’t see a soul.  Miles 8-10.5 was a steep and rocky downhill, hard to get any speed going.  After that it was a steady downhill fire road before turning single track to really speed things up.
