Def not my best effort, but I’m content, given the circumstances. There were a number of factors that made this more difficult than I expected: the BRP was closed so I had to jog an extra 9 miles to get to and from the start of the route, the trails were very icy, it was warmer than I expected so I was carrying several unnecessary layers, and I didn't carry enough food or water. Was still 100% worth it though, the views and sunrise were incredible, and the trails were still as fun as always.
