Another training run up and down -- quite the jump scare with a moderately sized Western Diamondback (not sure how the photo links to the profile lol) smack middle of the trail.

Pair of LS Mutants just arrived, so gave those a whirl: unfortunately used to more low-profile shoes so had a bit of a spill but nothing too crazy. Grip was fantastic on the steep slabs, and cushion was generally welcome for the downhill, but a lot less precise/responsive than the Bushidos. Started a little later than ideal & was a little worried about stepping on snakes in the dark so turned around at the flat before the final hill where the sign is. Only had to headlamp the last half-mile before the perpendicular road/bridge.

(pardon the noob report; trying to be more active here)

Not sure if I'm doing a slightly deviated route, but logged 5.9 for visitor center through to the "end of Blackett's" sign: jogged as much as possible but not quite fit enough to run all the uphill switchbacks yet. Sunny/warm day but headed down pretty much right at sunset, so pleasant then. As always, cruise down is more of a controlled fall. Love the LS Bushido IIs for this trail overall. Was pretty aggressive with hydration and went through 1.5L of water but probably not needed. Ate one Cliff Razz gel and a Larabar.
