I got up early and drove out to Antelope Island. Get out there early to avoid the causeway fee of $9. I ran the Split Rock loop and did the out-and-back to Elephant head too. Four other runners started 5 minutes before me. I went out with no headlamp, as I knew the sky would begin to get light soon enough. Caught up with the first two runners. When I was a few feet behind the guy on the left. I snorted and he spun around, startled, saw me, then did a couple of involuntary hops a few feet off the ground. I hope I didn't scare the poop out of him, that can cause some real bad chafing. Passed those guys, then caught up to the first two runners, a man and a woman. Turned to see the guy and it was Quintin Barney. Hey Quint! He kind of knew I may be out there this morning. Nobody else on the trail except when I was coming in I saw 4 others starting up.
