A hard, hard run up and down the bike climbs as I ran 4 circuits of the hillside switch backs and then down the hill before heading up again.
It was a tough grind as the trail wound some 200 feet in elevation from the campground to the housing area above. I managed to maintain a steady pace (not that bad actually) on each of the four ascents and the nice long downhill afterwards was a welcome relief.
Finished with 6 and a half miles which made for a nice workout.
Just a month until the Palmer Lake 24 Hour so getting my gear in order, hopefully the 7500 foot altitude isn't a problem (at least the loop course is nice and flat and very pretty with the Colorado mountains as backdrops
