🔨 Work hard, play hard 🌸

That is the essence of Mt Tam summits with friends.

I came away from our annual NYE summit with a 3+ minute PR. It might not sound like a big improvement, but since last year I thought I had become stagnant at 58:xx on a good day.
.
I knew I wasn't in peak shape, so thought I'd give it a solid effort of maybe 85% instead of 110%. The first mile felt slow. It turns out, listening to the banter of some of the fastest Tam runners as they catch up to and chase you up the technical trail is equal parts motivating and distracting.
.
I continued my streak of PR'ing at this run each year, and in doing so reminded myself not to become complicit in where my threshold is.
