Incredible day in an incredible mountain wilderness. With the exception of about 5 miles of post holing (knee deep at times), this was all type 1 fun. This is a spectacular route from the Wild Idaho Endurance Challenge (WIEC): lakes, high passes, great climbs and descents, and plenty of water. I followed the original WIEC route, which includes a small add on of an extra lake (Mirror Lake) through the Lakes Basin (the distance difference is minimal but it's slightly longer and a bit more climbing with the extra lake). I started and ended at my cottage, so there is about 12 minutes of extra running that I subtracted from the total time. I thought it was worth submitting even with the slight difference in route, but also understand if it isn't verified due to that difference.
