This route can go down in under two hours easily. Maybe I can do that? I couldn't do it today, but I might try again when the conditions are right. Don't do it often, but man I love running tech quickly.
Hero dirt conditions and pleasant overcast the entire time. I was hoping for a quick rain shower, but I'll take the dry rocks and moody skies any day. Great time to go fast on this route.
As someone who loves vert and tech, the reservoir loop was a wrench in an otherwise perfect setup. Summoned the power of sea level and was rewarded with enough speed to get me by. I made my real strides on the trail, and had an absolute blast doing so. Such a fun area.
Carried one 14oz bottle (first time using a handheld - will be doing so more frequently now) and ate one Lecka gel + one saltstick tab on the res loop. Exhausted my water on the second summit of Tom and turned the empty bottle around on my wrist for better hand-on-rock action.
I wanna see someone really rip the wheels off this route. Where're all the speedybois ripping up 7 sisters? Tell them to come tear this to shreds. I'll be waiting.
