Bob was registered and wanted to earn his t-shirt. Sonny and I were just tagging along (and we were all climbing it at our own pace).😂 I followed Phil Gaimon's pacing advice - go easy for the first third, steady for the middle third, and hard for the final third. I think it worked pretty good and I ended up with a PR. Mostly I was just managing my legs because I didn't feel like I could push them any harder even though my cardio and breathing felt like I could go harder. The guys thought it was hot on the climb but I didn't notice. I was too focused on my effort. It definitely got hotter as I descended Kings. It was so much hotter was we got down to the bottom so I suggested we get some ice cream. Bob suggested Tin Pot in Los Altos which was pretty good. The ice cream really brought me back to life.
