Run to the Thompson Peak

Elapsed Time: 55:55

After two kilometers, my stomach started acting up, so I took a short break (time included). At that moment, I thought this run was going to be a disaster. But from then on, it went well.

And it turned into an unexpected all-time record! I only realized the time would be great when I was close to the peak and still far from one hour. So in the last segment I put everything into it.

As expected, my heart rate was skyrocketing. What I did not expect was that Garmin gave me a training status of MAINTAINING and even lowered my VO2max to 54!

I never felt so powerful on this mountain! And yet Garmin thinks I am just a piece of sh*t:)

Poznámka

My Salomon trail shoes are dead, so I wore my regular Asics. It was okay, but I need to buy new trail shoes.

I started in the late afternoon and I was sure that I was not going to meet anyone up there. But when I started descending shortly before sunset, out of nowhere, a girl with a pink jersey showed up. She was there right for the sunset.

On the way down, I just walked the steep parts to protect my knees. But she ran like crazy downhill. I could see why: it was getting dark plus a little rain started. So I ran as well. This set a descent record as well, around 1 hour. Normally it is 1:30 or 1:40 hours.

At the Dixie Mine crossing, she continued straight. I have no idea where you can go there, especially at night. I went to the Dixie Mine trailhead and only saw her moving light in the distance. The last two kilometers were hard because it was completely dark. But I had two flashlights: one on the watch and one on the phone.
