Bairgutsman Bandit With Steve Newman's group, met at Farmington Pond at 5:30AM, ran BST to Bair Canyon. The Bairgutsman race started at 6AM. When I neared the canyon, the front runners were cresting a hill right were I was, so I ran mingled with them for a mile until I caught up with my running group. We were in the midst of the runners the entire way from there, stepping aside to let them pass easily. I hiked and ran well up to Francis Peak but I am still not recovered from Speedgoat. Weak and sore. I was vacillating until late last night between going to King's Peak or running with Steve's group. I made the right decision to stay home because I would have been slow and the running would have been painful. Anyway, I plan to go run King's next week to see if I can smash the fastest time (whatever it may be) from today's Quest for King's marathon. I should be feeling better by next week to put up a challenge.
