Green

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down the same.

Started at 4:16 pm. Kept it fairly comfortable up Amph and Saddle Rock. Neither the legs nor the lungs felt like I was working very hard. Quite surprising. I did stride it out a few times and elevated the heart rate a bit as the legs were feeling spry, but then I'd ease back off.

Seeing a pretty good time at the Greenman junction and still feeling pretty good, I decided to try and run as much as I could on the upper part of the mountain. I ran pretty easy - too easy - to Greenman Spring. Up through the talus it started to hurt a bit more. Kept the run going a ways, but it ended a bit below the steep rocky section. I then let myself ease off a bit too much until the final few switchbacks. I think I would've been better off putting myself into the mindset of hiking as fast as possible rather than running as much as possible. Oh well, still was psyched to be under 40:00.

Decided not to push the down. Walked most of it.
