I ran probably the first 10%, maybe 15% about to the 800-time mark. Well, I have to say that my 25-minute estimate was a little aggressive for my first time.
I brought my tracks bikes with me, just in case in the off chance I could actually run it, give it a go, and not kind of take it at a leisurely pace. Well, being a good boy scout, I always come prepared. But you’re going to need something else besides what you have on.” And got to the incline, a couple guys came down, I asked them, “Is it okay run, did you run it, did you go all the way up?” They said “Yes. I woke up at 3:40 in the morning to get on a flight to get here to Colorado Springs so that I could return this evening. Yesterday, my coach emailed me, “It’s melting. And I started to see people go up, people go up, people go up. Earlier on in the week snow clouds, terrible. Well, yesterday, my coach and I, we’ve been religiously watching the incline cam trying to see what are the conditions, how does it look. So, it was going to be a lost cause anyway, whether I came out or didn’t come out. But you know, I’ll come out here, see what’s all about the airline carrier I chose not big on refunds.

Maybe he could maybe he couldn’t.īut I wanted to see how do I stack up? Now, before I came out here, I love math, so I was like poring over all the numbers and trying to figure out okay how does elation affect the altitude, how’s that gonna affect my running speed, how is the gradient change going to affect my running speed being an average of 43% gradient and pitches up over 60 there from like the half to the three quarter section.

You can see it’s looming here behind me as I sit in the Park, near the free parking I can find in Manitou Springs. It’s this thing everybody around here knows about it, it stares at you from all around town. Back in college my coach grew up in Manitou Springs and told me about the incline. Well, the genesis of the story starts back almost 10 years ago. So, today, we’re gonna talk about how did it go, how do I feel, why am I out here, and should you do the incline?
