I accidentally started from the horse trailhead, which was 3min down the road from the hikers trailhead. So, 3:58:37 from car-to-car (i.e., the farthest up that cars are allowed to park).

Didn’t go out particularly hard but sorta just warmed into it to see where my legs were at. Filled water at Elkhorn Creek. Trail finally turned up on the kick to Gunsight and I felt more in my element on the traverse over to the base of Kings itself. Upon actually seeing the mountain person I could see no reason to go all the way over to Anderson Pass before heading up, so I just cut straight across and started marching up the talus slope to the summit.

Spent about 90sec on top taking photos then headed back down the way I came. Really nothing to report. Tried to keep running hard the last hour as the trail flattened back out, the heat cranked up, and the smoke rolled in. Glad I did, to get that sub-4hr.

Had a loooong creek soak afterwards, my first bathing of the trip. Then filtered and drank a gallon of water, ate some food, filtered three more liters for the bike, and pedaled off into one of the more heinous bits of riding I’ve had in a long time.
