Perfect day and weather for the effort, light drizzle at the top and not too many people. I knew to get the fkt I'd have to take off a few minutes on the uphill to make up for my downhill time. I was able to pr my uphill which gave me confidence to get down as fast as I could. Legs felt heavy starting and definitely didn't think I'd be able to get up faster than I ever have, but stuck with it and threw down some aggressive pole walking (thank you skimo season). The downhill felt surprisingly smooth and good on the ankles! Stoked on the effort but know it can be done faster!
