THE INCLINE TWICE: DONE!

One more Sunday in The Manitou Springs Incline.
Today the challenge for me was to go up twice in a row. My students thought I was crazy and didn't want to join me both times.
I had the same time for both ways up: 38 minutes. I felt great, and I am pretty happy about the time it took me. I ran down the Bar Trail both times, which I was not planning on doing. I was afraid for my leg joins going down hill. Let's see how my legs feel in the following 48 hours. So far so good!
I took some more pictures of the beautiful Colorado scenic views. The moon, early in the morning, was the protagonist.

Uneveness in The Incline...this part is a killer!

3RD MANITOU INCLINE: "CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS"

We did it again, and we both improved our personal times. Today I think I pushed myself to the limit. What a great feeling!
Third time at the top

This babes took Rachel to the top in 32'50'' (about 2 minutes faster than last time)

Last step of The Incline

These are our times going down the Barr Trail:

Rachel 22'43''

Marisa 23'43''

Even though we walked a bit at the very beginning, we still beat our last time going down.

I am telling you! The Incline is addicting!
