Got up later than I intended. Today's gauge was cloud cover so off I went. There weren't many at the TH and I saw about 1/2 dozen hikers and a few lizards. It's green and lots of what I call yard weeds out there. I wasn't sure if I could do the peak but it seemed a bit cooler up there so I completed it. On the way down, the sun came out altho not full bore which slowed my momentum. Hiking south I caught a breeze.

At the TH and a couple other places I saw these really pretty, but flighty, miniature yellow butterflies. I tried to capture them with my Pany camera and got a few shots.

WATCH: 2.76 miles. Avg bpm 126, max 164. (9% at Zone 5, 44% Zone 4, 45% Zone 3) burning 341 calories. Starting temp 82.3 and 58% humidity finishing at 9:02AM and 85 degrees with 54% humidity
