Yesterday I ran this loop for the first time, unaware that it was an FKT route. I felt great, and ended up cruising through it at a decent clip. Afterwards, I discovered that it was in fact an official FKT route, except I had started at the wrong parking lot (I had started at the Basin, which is a bit closer, and paved). Also, I was not too far off the record pace. So, I decided I might as well come back today and go for it. Mission successful. Conditions were rather nice, yesterday was a bit wet but it had dried out for the most part, only a few lingering areas were a tad damp. I think it’s definitely feasible that I (or someone else) could run this in under 90 minutes. Ran this on somewhat tired legs, and didn’t give it a full race effort. Headed to Artists Bluff & Bald Mountain to snag that FKT directly afterwards. Fun day!
