Cliff notes: Five took a trip to South Mountains State Park to preview the routes for an upcoming half-marathon. Most of us completed the 12-plus, but one managed to get 29k, just by turning back on all intersections to pick up the six and scoring extra loops every now and then. Apparently, the secret is to control your dopamine, instead of the other way around. We’ll figure this out.
On the technical side: a big loop with two imposing 1250-ft climbs. Most of the trail brings a comfortable mix of sand, rocks and roots, except the very last hill down: a leg breaker. Amazing temperature and humidity throughout, in a mostly unfrequented park this morning.
And of course, breakfast after. This time we went for biscuits.
