Sometimes running, like life, can be unusually cruel

Lunch Trail Run

Afternoon Trail Run

Didn't get underwear man's 😏 ( Jack Kuenzle ) ski ascent time or my previous on-foot ascent record but set a new on-foot round trip fkt of 1:54:59 , quite pleased especially given the conditions. Slushy down low for about the first 1500 ft, great snow for the middle 3000 ft and then a bit of good ole June powder on the top 1000 ft. Fairly good descent conditions, especially down pearly gates but a bit of postholing through the recent weak crust. I will never ever go back to track spikes after using these bad boys, so psyched on them. I'll keep trying at this until I find the perfect conditions and a perfect day personally and I am very excited about that :)
