Green Valley Tr: Run canceled due to unnecessary heat wave

Pickering Bar Trail

Little Yosemite Valley > Glacier Point

Kinda disappointed with my overall pace. I'm blaming it on the debris. Really though. I'd scouted sections of the trail and everything I saw looked pretty good. TNF finally cleared their portion of the trail. Unfortunately, BLM has not. From about mi 8.5 to 10.5 (Primitive Camp) there was a lot of debris. Primitive Camp was the worst of it. It looked like a hurricane had come through. I couldn't find the trail. These 2 mi of debris slowed me down a lot. Suboptimal conditions for sure.
Passing people from Edwards to Purden of course slowed me down a bit too.

On the + side, I fueled really well and felt good the whole time! Just typical tightness & soreness of my calves toward the end. Pretty stoked on that. Much better than my Pioneer Tr. I bombed the N Bloomfield Rd descent too. That was fun.
