Ambling up the trails

This morning’s trail run took me through some of the steeper, more technical sections of Mt. Doug, covering just over 6.8 km. The splits show a steady start with sub-8:15/km paces for the first two kilometers, followed by a mix of climbs and slower technical segments peaking at a 14:25/km pace in kilometer five. The route wound deep into the forest before looping back toward the ocean, offering a beautiful variety of terrain and elevation change (+67 m to -67 m). I had intended to capture the ambient trail sounds, but I forgot my Sony recorder and had to rely on my iPhone, resulting in subpar audio. Tomorrow, I plan to head back out—this time properly equipped—to better document the experience.
