I saw that there was meat on the bone for this record, so I decided to give it a go in the midst of Nolan's training. My Nolan's training has consisted of a lot of big, easy days on foot, so it was fun to try a little hard and run fast on this one. Conditions were dry, and it was a pretty nice day outside- windy up on the saddle, but perfect shorts/ tank top weather. I stayed on the new trail for this one, and I believe I reached the summit around 1:37. It is crazy because this is about my ascent time when I take the Nolan's route up Shavano, which shaves over a mile of switchbacks off. Snapped a couple pics and immediately headed down. I did not bring any food or water (not the wisest decision I know), but I did take a sip out of the creek on the way down (we will see if I win the giardia lottery lol)... Good day in the mountains!
