Really great. So much more alive, non-menacing, and easy going than Mauna Loa. Lot of the trail quite buffed. The soft sandy gravel not as fun, and some sections of baby head grape nuts rubble, but not bad — very runnable. The segment of asphalt up top was nice to run if less aesthetic. Really fortunate with weather; misty drizzle near the start but snuck out of that cloud before it broke and dumped. Lovely summit and good people along the way. Stopped more than I wanted for route-checking, and got slightly off route twice.

Yes: sacred space, contested place. I said many a prayer of respect and gratitude, and made my small offering, hopefully well received.

Gave it a TT effort and landed about where I aimed. I don’t care how easy he was going, any day I can steal a CR from Matt Daniels is a good day. ;)
