Saturday (6/8/08) I hit the summit of San Gorgonio (11,450ft.). It was a fantastic day! I tried to get some of the guy's from the running club to go with me. No one laced up to go so I hit it solo. I left the parking lot at 8:00. Nice warm up to the trail head, then it was on. I cleared the first mile in 16:48 a little too fast, I slowed a bit but kept a good pace. Made it to halfway camp in 48:15, high creek in in 1:38, and the summit in 3:09. It was a little windy for me at the summit and I did not want to cool off to quickly so I headed back down after a two minute breather. I got to the bottom in 2:20 and am really paying the price. My legs have been killing me!!!!! I did not hydrate enough the few days before I left and cramped up three quarters of the way down. My left calf was (is) killing me. It was a fantastic trip. I have only busted the three hour time once before and am told I need to reach the summit in under 2:50 from the lower parking lot to break somebody else's time. Ah a goal!
