Early morning Y hike
Posted in Adventureson Jul 15, 2006
This morning I hiked the Y again. For some reason this morning I just naturally woke up early. With all the found time, I decided to hike the Y, and do it before it got to hot outside. I left at about 8:45am. At that time the sun had hit the valley, but not quite the west side of the mountain. Even though I left pretty early, it was still pretty warm outside.
My focus today was to get to the top as quickly as possible. I brought my stopwatch, so I could time myself and use the time as motivation to get to the top. I decided that I could stop every 10 minutes for a drink of water. The end result is that I got from the trail-head to the the bottom of the Y in 29 minutes, which I think is a new best time for me. Even though the hike was hard at that pace, I felt like I was more energized than on previous hikes.

[...] Thursday I went out to hike the Y. Of course, this isn’t my first time hiking the Y. I think perhaps it is the 4th or 5th time this summer. Last time, I hiked it in 29 minutes, which was really difficult and at the time I didn’t think there was any way that I could make it in less that 30 minutes, but I did. This time, I was a little more confident after hiking Kings Mountain in Oregon last week, so I set a goal for 15 minutes. [...]
