Stupid Leaves

Stupid Leaves

I ran up the Farmington Creek Trail to the Sunset Campground, planning to take it easy on the way up and then get a PR on the downhill.

In the end, I got a PR on the last climb to the campground, but didn’t get my hoped-for downhill PR. Why? Because the trail was covered in 2 inches of leaves for a lot of it. That makes it hard to run when you can’t tell what the actual terrain is. Boo.

Beautiful as ever though, if a bit drained of the prior fall colors.

3.9 miles in 49:00 @ 12:38 min/mile and with 1,309 ft. elevation gain
