4/15/13

Sun 4/14 - double, 1:45 total

AM - 30 minutes easy. Out and back to near the top of Mt. Carbon with the express purpose of taking these shots:

Rained overnight, which along with winds made for a fantastic night's sleep. While the clouds cleared out, what was left behind was sticky mud from the clayey soil. Kicking off large clumps much of the run.

PM - 75 minutes, Mt. Falcon. Another out and back for the most part. Up via Turkey Trot trail to Eagle Eye shelter, down via Castle. 45 minutes or so for the climb. I would have liked to spend a few minutes more "am brunnen vor den thore" but the hideous wind that got going mid-morning was still hammering away in the late afternoon. Made what would have been a mostly delightful day into a chore. Felt tired and clunky on the way down, quads heavy and unresponsive.
