Extremely fun but challenging FKT! This was my first time up Brunswick (even though I spent part of my childhood in nearby West Van) so wasn't sure what to expect. I figured I'd be able to make up time on the previous FKT holder, Katherine Short, but knew I'd have to really work for the downhill. Since I wasn't familiar with the trail, I used Strava on my phone to also verify the route and double checked it a few times going up, and especially at the first peak to ensure I was aiming for the correct summit. Several small groups out on the trails but fairly quiet. Only three people at the saddle and no one at the summit. I carried a 500mL water bottle in my vest, one gel that I ate in the final two miles where I knew I'd have to really push, and my phone for emergency/directions. Took a few photos at the top and one at the bottom when I was back at the gate. Beautiful day!
