2023 Unsupported "NonTrail Race Unofficial Challenge #18

McLean Refuge "3-Peaks" 8.2-Miler

Weather Report mentioned the rain cleaning out between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., and they got it completely correct today.

K2 and I rambled in McLean with a window of two-hours, and we both made it back to the car slightly ahead of time - with no rain and wonderful sunny sky for the duration of our exercise.

I don't know if the temperature reached 60-degrees, but it was at least into the fifties and very sunny, so it felt great.

I decided at some point to hit three peaks today:

  • Stony Hill
  • East Barndoor Hill
  • West Barndoor Hill

At the end, I had slightly over 1200' of climb, which was pleasing.

Completed the 8.2-miles in 1:45:30 for an average of about 4.6 mph.
