Ran it East to West starting with the upper Kenilworth stairs and finishing with Cheedoke. Made sure to tag the bottom set of James St. stairs. Felt really good about doing it this direction. Made a couple minor suboptimal trail choices in between the stairs. It was raining which meant the stair traffic was minimal, but wasn't hard enough to affect the trail conditions. Happy with the effort I put in. Found this project as really interesting to plan for and really exciting to do. The 1727 stairs are just 49 shy of those in the CN tower. I think there is still a lot of room for faster times. 

I ran it solo, carried 500mL of electrolyte drink mix, 100mL maple syrup and a gel for the cooldown.
