Story
This was my first time running an FLRC Challenge course! This was a great route—I’m always a big fan of linking up different natural areas, parks, forest, and trail systems with one big trail run. With all the rain we had over the weekend, parts of the FLT were real wet with sticky mud, otherwise the conditions were great today. Nice cool air and lots of red newts out and about. The descent on the FLT through Sweedler has to be one of my favorites in the area~such a narrow ridge! I personally like going up the switchbacks and down the FLT ridge, but climbing the ridge was fun today. I’ll be back to try to get a better time on this one!
