Story
I inadvertently saved the hardest (imo) for last
Came across a few other challengers but didn’t get names but HI AGAIN!!!
This course was without a doubt the most beautiful and stunning and…EVIL course so far.
I hiked it, and I always say I’ll go back and run them again, but I throw my hands up in surrender at this one this is beyond my novice trail running skills, level expert needed
But I will be back.
So, I found this course to be the most beautiful this year. The Lick Brook section was new to me, and I was completely caught off guard by the waterfall no idea it was there.
So first mile in I was ready to forgive Adam for the stairs in FH Fox… when this uphill started

And continued…and continued…
And then!
And again !
In all honesty I knew this was coming, I’m very familiar with the treman lake trails, just thought it was funny.
Had to take pictures of what I lovingly call Helms deep
Beware the orcs!
This course is not for the faint of heart, or those afraid of heights
There are a couple sections that have a narrow trail with cliffs on each side.

Also the down trees across the trail were tricky just hiking

Also imminent danger from this one


Anywho I absolutely loved this one.
But also very glad when it was over as I also did 4- Sweet1600 efforts this morning too
