5:30AM- Met up at the Capital with a good crew this morning; Scott W, Craig L, Jennilyn E, Matthew W, and MVH. I ran the entire thing on my ankles, but my knees feel it the most. I should have brought my luge. The first miles were so slippery, at times I had to hang on to anything I could grab to get up. Scott was nice and let me wear one of his spikes on one foot on the way back down. We toyed with the idea of a three-legged run, but ended up pony riding - with the spiked foot in front, and our bodies trailing. We still ended up screaming for most of the last mile down, mostly me.
The other mountain goats were ahead of us. Apparently, Craig took a hard fall and hurt his knee and elbow. I think a helmet and body pads might be helpful next time. It was one of the more fun runs I've ran up there, but also the most technically difficult. The others would laugh, but I'm exhausted.
