I ran up Mt Timpanogos early this AM. I mean early. I began running up the trail about 3:45AM. Time to summit was 1h56m, including two potty breaks (number 2). Without those breaks I can easily go under 1:50. The great thing about Timp is that all of it is runnable. Very chilly morning but I stayed warm enough, even wearing shorts and a long-sleeve shirt. As per usual, lots of hikers on the trail and lounging about the saddle. I would like to go back another time with a warm sleeping bag and a mat and just snooze at the saddle for a few hours before sunrise. That appeals to me. As I descended I saw Scott W coming up. I gave him the unopened can of frat boy beer I found at the summit.
