I felt like I had some unfinished business from my last FKT attempt on MacFarlane and wanted to get this re-do in before the snow falls! It was a beautiful day, with some smoke from southern fires, but overall sunny and clear. The trail was super busy, which was awesome to see. I took 1.5L of water with me and probably could have packed 2. I used 4 Gu Gels on route. I stopped on route down to splash my face with water from the creeks. The dry trail conditions allowed for quick and fun descent. I ran wearing two watches to be sure the GPS would work this time and of course my own watch tracked without issues.
No one ran with me but I saw two other runners coming down on my way up :)
This was a great Mt Macfarlane send off, looking forward to seeing it again next summer.
