Run 3:19:09 [2] 12.6 mi (15:48 / mi)
Pikes Peak climb. Felt not great and lightheaded right away and I made some early attempts to drop Carl which didn't end up working and left me a little tired. Carl almost dropped me in the uphill false flat sections in the middle before I made up ground. The hiking mixed with running in the second hour was also hard for me, but I made back the ground by the timberline. Carl and I were pretty even above the timberline before I broke away with 1 mile to go.
Ran a surprising amount, pushed to run whenever trail was flat. Even able to run a lot above timberline. Had some trouble with the altitude at the top and was pretty dead when I went back down to pick people up, but felt ok in general. Recovered quickly as I went down the mountain.
