Lunch Run

Stuck to a comfortably hard tempo, but mentally treated this as a normal long run. I was wearing my trail trainers and had my hydration vest on with 2 full bottles just to be safe. Still, I checked the FKT splits here: https://fastestknowntime.com/fkt/kyle-williams-half-dome-yosemite-ca-2014-09-28 and I was 1 minute ahead of pace on the way up when sadly I made a wrong turn and headed towards clouds rest. On the way back down, I took a split near where I turned off in the wrong direction and tried to keep a decent pace on the downhill. I made 1 annoying wrong turn where I missed a switchback and probably lost 25 seconds. I estimate I was around 40 seconds off the downhill pace if you account for that. The downhill on the Mist trail is quite technical and I was holding 9-10 minute pace in there, there's definitely some room for improvement there. I think with a race setup and effort, there's a 10 minute improvement to be had on the uphill (the full uphill, not just what I ran), and maybe a few minutes on the downhill. That would put me in the low 2:10 range. I'll be back next year to tackle this, and this time I'm entering the pre-season lottery!
