Up the West Rutland access road to retrieve PK's car, after flying. It's a little funny to call this "running", because very little of it was done with a running gait, but I was probably going faster than if I had stubbornly kept "running" and wasted energy bouncing up and down. The powerwalking that I did instead was probably more efficient. Normally I take shortcuts or just go up the front face when I do this, but I decided to actually follow the road in order to map it out with the GPS (see track). My speed was pretty much limited by the oxygen I could take in, I was breathing very hard the whole way (and having a bit of trouble, some minor wheezing). I didn't time how long it took me to drive down, but it was probably a substantial fraction of the time running up. On a happy note, despite the fact that I had a short flight because I forgot my vario in the car and had trouble locating lift, I did manage to stay in the air for longer (35:29) than the time it took me to hike up.
