Run - Trail race (Soapstone Assault) 58:09 [4] 8.75 km (6:39 / km) +600m 4:57 / km
ahr:143 max:158
Dope, dope, dope...
After not having time to run for a few weeks, I had a few hours to myself, so headed up to Soapstone for an easy hour run. Got to parking lot and many cars there, I get out and Jerry asks me if I'm here for the race - the last (fastest) runners had just started about 2 minutes earlier - what the hell I figure, its about an hour so I grab a bib number and hit the trail.
Oh yeah, the assault climbs and descends Soapstone Mtn six times on a circuit route around the base - most are very rocky and the final climb is steep enough that they just finish the race at the top of the fire tower - quad buster from hell. Plus most trails had running or standing water depending upon their pitch
no warmup so it took a while to loosen up, then by halfway I was shedding clothes - I had dressed for a slower, easy run. Passed about 6 people, saw many more as they headed down as I went up. Finished about 6:30 behind Deb who won the race in a bit over 51 minutes which is also around my pr for this course I believe. But it was really painful - esp climbing - after no running for a while, but the latter half felt much looser.

White Mountain Backpack (slackpack) Day 2.
Everything pretty socked in - misty drizzle but no serious rain. Mizpah Springs Hut to summit of Mount Pierce, then down the Crawford Path and out. Jackson's 2nd 4000 footer. Lots of water on trails - more wading than hiking - but very enjoyable - foliage just about peak up there. Only 8 people at the hut last night..
