I knew in the first mile that I was not going to hold a strong pace today, was supposed to be a rest week anyway. But was worth a steady effort just to get a time on the board for women to chase. Not really a first known time, because Emily K and Erika L ran it in May 2022, prior to submitting the route to the site, but they were just out for a casual day (4 hrs, 18 min).
Stephen is an animal to crush this in 3 hours!! But we already knew that about him. It required a Lot more hiking for me than I expected with the various hills, and then bushwhacking trips up Green Mtn were a certainly a big slowdown obstacle each way. :)
All in all, a fun route and the "trail" stays mostly clear due to being meant for quads. Totally beatable time. Hope some ladies come after me and crush it.
