Maiden Peak + Gold Lk

July 24, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Good but tiring run w/Rob H and Jason L. From Gold Lake camp, pretty easy to Maiden Pk trail, but Jason strung it out a bit. Kept it easy, then "educated him" on the need to walk ups in a 100M. Had a fun ascent up Maiden in 3-6' snow levels - no post-holing except for half one on the descent. Awesome views up top. Nice descent, but more hammering by Jason. Water, deuce and a gel at Gold Lk then onto the Gold Lk trail. Pretty warm by then on that creeper trail -- about 2-3% grade steady for 4 miles. Tiring.

Really worked on form today: TURNOVER. Quick feet and using the arms. No bottles, just the shitty hydration pack. Slightly underhydrated but OK.

L achilles was a bit sore for the first 1-2mi, then 100% fine. A bit sore in shoes on the drive home.

Nice run "back". ;)
