Long run with an FKT.
Both Steven and I needed to get a long run in before our upcoming races so decided this would be a good one. This is my second time doing the whole thing and Steven’s first time on all of it. I absolutely love this trail. There are a lot of super runnable sections but it also throws in some good climbs.
Of course the day we did this it rained for the first time in a while so the trail conditions were slippery with all the leaves. It also got cold after the sun set so we had no choice but to move as fast as we could to stay warm. Our hands/fingers weren’t working well so only one picture was taken around mile 15.
There were a few sections with a lot of downed trees, but the trail maintenance on this one is phenomenal. There were no issues navigating these areas.
All in all it was a great run and so happy I could be with Steven for his first full trip on this!
