Escarpment Trail via Windham (Elm Ridge Trailhead) to Schutt Rd. Have been wanting to do the full trail for so long and finally got it done! Goal was to establish the unsupported time and get as close to the supported time as I could. Pumped to (just barely) get under 5 hours! Split ~4:06/4:07 for the ETR 30k race portion - def not my fastest but also not my slowest.

Carried 3L of water and went through 2.5L. Probably ate about 1500 calories. Only one smashed shin (correction, apparently smashed both shins) but zero ankle twists. Great weather conditions and trail is crazy dry. Saw less than 10 people total.
