FKT: Cole Campbell - Ruby Dome (NV) - 2020-09-03

Chased the old record held by Daniel Zvirzdin set on 07/23/2013 in 1:39:03. Started at 9:30 and it was quite warm but felt confident that the first 2 miles would fall into my strengths because those miles are much more runnable than the final 2. Got to the lake in about 46:47 which was well ahead of Dan's split (54:29). The climb to the top of the saddle was very difficult and I feel like I let the pace drag. The final scramble was also quite lethargic and never really felt like I was moving at full speed. I was happy to take time off of the old record, but I know there is plenty that could be approved upon. I don't see a reason why a person couldn't go sub 1:20:00 or even sub 1:15:00 on the right day.
