Crater Lake Rim Run 2014

I participated in the Crater Lake Rim Run this past weekend and it was one of the prettiest runs that I have been on so far. The elevation (7000 feet) was an unknown variable for me and it takes its toll on most athletes. I did the 6.7 mile run and felt like I had a run a half. Being at 7000 feet and gaining 1000 feet altitude (while running) is a very different physiological experience than doing it at sea level.  I was happy with my run and it was mostly a training run for my EBC trip in the fall. Scrumpy had a blast.
