I went back out to HOL today. I forgot about yesterday, and ended up going out there again today with Lesley. We ran down the powerline loop, where I managed to lose trail again, but I did find some new and interesting ones that warrant further investigation. It’s true that getting lost back there is the only way to learn the trails.
Anyway, we went down the hill, across the dam, then tried to go up the hill on the other side, but my legs would not agree to it. We got about ¼ of the way up when I decided to wank on the hill and so we headed back down. We did go up to overlook, it just seemed like it would be easier to go that route instead of going up on the other side. Anyway, we worked our way back down from overlook, and Lesley kicked my ass on the way up the hill of life. My legs were shredded. I kept telling myself that I was supposed to be this ultra marathoner in training and that I should be able to handle this hill, so I ran/walked up it. Ah, the joys and pains of running uphills 2 days in a row.
good job, ultramarathoner in training!
