I shocked myself by doing the trail in just over 5 hours, about 2 minutes over. That is the fastest I think I have ever done the trail, and that includes stops at Woodinville, Log Boom, Gasworks, Log Boom again and Woodinville again. Other than those pit stops, I didn't stop at all--not even to blow my nose.
It was a gorgeous, gorgeous day to be on the trail, and around 10K other people thought so too. I dodged kids and people riding three abreast, like they were the only people on the trail, not to mention the normal walkers, parents with strollers, and many, many cute dogs. The second time I was at Log Boom, there were 4 puppies in the water, splashing and playing with each other and trying to chase the ducks. At the end of my ride, I popped into starbucks for one of their high-calorie mint chocolate chip Frappuccino, which I had wanted to try. So I kicked back in the shade with my drink, and waited for Lar to come get me. It was a great way to finish a fun summer ride.
