Jen texted me last night so changed plans from another gym day to meeting her at foot of lake mountaon trail. Had never been and she said it was all snow pack so dug out my trail shoes that i remember hating. Nikes would not last...icing in spots and no traction on flyknit lunars. Although i was still slipping i had btr tractiin in the trail shoes but they are super heavy ..over a pound each and they have metal plates built in so they did not give at all. My left arch was aching. Got a massage of foot by a guy named jeff who was with us. That helped but when we reached the top the metal in the shoes must have froze cause abosolutely like running barefoot on ice blocks i had no ankle control when we entered a very small passage through cruncy snow. It wasnt worth the injury . At least i made it to the top. 4000 feet vert gain in four miles is what jen told me. Wowza. Took 1:04 to the top and that is with walking at the top and 37 on the way down. I thought i was going to crash on the way down. Slippery snow pack and very steep. Lots of leaning back saw kelli and rachel on way back down. I had locked my keys in my car and rachel let me use her phone. A miracle her service worked troy had to drive 14 miles to come unlock my car so nice of him. He was there within minutes of me reaching the car.

The problem with a climb like Lake Mountain is that any equipment failures or injury problems are going to be magnified. Plus, it's hard to predict what trail conditions are going to be like because they can change daily. I think if you would've had just your road shoes and put the Yaktrax on when you needed them you would've been fine. As it was, you were smart to call it before your feet got worse hurt. It was about 2,600' gain to the spot you turned around, with over 950' of that in the last mile alone! I'm so glad you came out although it was crazy with your keys being locked in. Party on the mountain! :-)

Thx for info. Agree i thought when u offered the yak trax that i wish i had my nikes to put them over ...feet feel good today...it is my left sciatic nerve that is a bugger from the downhill.
