Note that I’ve got waypoints (F01, F02, etc) on the map and profile that
correspond to locations of pictures. I didn’t take many pictures on the
uphill this year since I had taken a bunch last year:

Nice pics, Dot.
I remember running down to the Powerline Pass trail from the parking lot
of Flattop Mountain last year. There had been some recent bear sightings
in the area, so I didn't dare to venture too far 🙂
Quoted message said:In the distance, I see another gradual hill, which I wasn't sure if it
was on my route or not. Yep, it was. But once I crested that, I think I
ran the rest of the way, pushing to best of my ability, recognizing that
2+ mi is close to half hour for me, and trail quality degraded a little,
but not too much. After that when we turned on the gas line, we were
back to dirt and some goopy mud for a while, then we turned off that
onto another good gravel trail and up a small hill to the finish in
4:08:41.
Congrats on a good race.
Looks like you made your goal.

Kudos to RD Trond Flagstad.
Is he the same guy that finished in the top-3 at last year's Mt.Marathon
race?
Quoted message said:Next up: Recovery (post-season) and think about next iteration of
training. Leaving orthotics to get recovered, donating blood, and a
couple days of rain make a few recovery days easy to deal with.
Enjoy your recovery.
Good luck with the training. I hear it's already getting down into the
30's up there.
Thanks for the nice report.
