Lunch Trail Run

Solo, unsupported out-and-back starting at Anthony Lakes.  Felt pretty good, but not great for the N-S leg (still feeling the effects of a big move last week, I think).  Return trip S-N felt...not so great, slowed by pretty severe dehydration issues.  More on that aspect:  the crux of the route is definitely water management.  There's only one reliable water source on the Crest and while I've used it many times, I still managed to misremember its location.  It's at approximately mile 10 and 35.5 if doing the out-and-back from Anthony.  I thought it would be closer mile 15 and 31 (a good reminder to review maps and not rely on memory).  Big difference going 25+ miles between water sources instead of 16.  Stuffed some snow in my bottles around Rock Creek Butte to supplement, but that isn't an option later in the season, so I would highly recommend either carrying a larger capacity bladder to fill the first time past the water source, or do the route supported with a water drop at Marble Pass.

All in all, a great day in the mountains with perfect weather and plenty of goats.
