i started at the indian cove trailhead, ran up and tagged the bathroom at the south end, then cruised back down. i felt pretty good on the way up, but all that sand seemed to sap the energy from my legs. i met my arbitrary intermediate goal of sub-1 hour on the way up and backed off a bit, but i soon realized that Rory’s round-trip time still wasn’t a gimme. i kept the effort up into the wind on the way down and managed to have no ankle rolls jumping down rocks in the wash. with a mile or so to go i realized that 1:55 was in range so i opened it up a bit to sneak under. i finished the ~600 calories and half-liter of water that i carried, and that felt about right. i think there’s still quite a bit of time to shave off, i’m stoked to see who gets after it next!
