Sunday - Ever since I discovered (last week) what a nice trail Ralston Peak has, I've been wanting to go back. I decided I'd investigate my 50k fitness (or lack thereof) by hitting the summit again. Lucy and I arrived at the trail head one hour after leaving the house. I was a little concerned about whether or not we'd get to the top before any thunderstorms came in, since they were forecast, I saw lightening in the Sierra on the previous evening, and clouds were beginning to form overhead. Lucy and I made the summit in about an hour and 10 minutes, and made it back down in about a half hour, making for a ~2:16 up and back trip (I spent a half hour or so chatting with some nice folks on the summit). It was another gorgeous day on the trails! Just a few minutes after we left the summit, I started to hear rumbling thunder, literally just as we reached the car, it started to rain.
On my way home, I pulled off at the Fresh Pond exit and chatted with a bunch of friends who had run (or were still running) the Run on the Sly race. Great job to everyone who raced, it was a hot and fairly humid day!

Lucy is a master of the Talus.

| I've only been up here twice, but I'd venture to say that it is always awesome on the summit. |
