Molino Basin, Sycamore Canyon, Bear Canyon – 2014/2/19
Race! The 2nd Summit Hut Buying Team Seven Falls Junction race – Alison dropped Richard and I started at Prison Camp – running down, Alison drove to Sabino Canyon and ran up.
I kept up with Richard at the beginning and ran some good miles, but he left me in the dust the last half mile or so before the junction – I thought I would still be 2nd but Alison came around the corner and I knew there was no hope…
1 – Richard, 2 – Alison, 3 – Charles!
