View Benchmark with Rob:

Perfect run! My run yesterday really sucked, but this made up for it. I met Rob in Draper at 7:00 am and we had an incredible run on Ann's trail to the top of View Benchmark. The sun was just coming up and the temps were cool, but really enjoyable for running. We had a nice pace and just chatted the whole way up without seeing anyone. With the fall colors on the trees and the mild weather the trail was just awesome. I couldn't ask for better conditions or views. At the VB trailhead there was a dude that looked like Grizzly Adams with a Garmin that jumped out of his car and started asking us questions about the trail. After about 5 minutes we both had to just start moving up the trail or that dude would have talked all day.

We had a decent pace up to the summit, but when we got up there Rob told me that he had to get back down fast in order to get a lesson prepared for church, so he wanted to push the pace and he did. I pretty much followed him the rest of the way down as he pushed a sub 7 pace all the way back to the VB trailhead where Grizzly Adams was waiting for us and started peppering us with questions, but we had to keep on truckin' along, so we barely slowed down. 

The last two miles Rob kept the pace sub 7 and I kept up until the last .5 because my hammy was getting sore, so I pulled back to a 7:30ish pace to the finish. I think that was the fastest time for me ever on a descent of VB. It was a good day.

Hi Scott! It's Neko, I met you at the trailhead. When I saw you get out of your vehicle I just had to jump out and talk to you. I waited for you guys to come back for your run and when you did return you just ran past and didn't stop.

Does anybody younger than 30 even know who Grizzly Adams is?

All I know is that Grizzly Adams had a beard. Thanks Happy Gilmore.

Nice run Scott, it's looking like you'll beat your 2011 elevation gain this year. Pretty sweet.
