The final stretch of the Slacker Half Marathon.
Me and the Dani enjoying the free beer.I had no plans to actually hike. I wore my running skirt, JQR shirt, and chacos. I left my camera, sunscreen, warm clothes and day pack in my car. But somehow I found myself talked into it. We drove up to Summit Lake, where I had intended to hang out while eveyone else hiked for a few hours. When we got there Brownie was kind enough to point out that the hike wasn't much longer than the Manitou Incline. It couldn't be that hard... if I could forget the fact that my legs were exhausted and cussing me. So I borrowed some sleeves from Dani and up we went. Too bad for Dani and Brownie that they couldn't make it to the top. It was awesome! I suppose I wouldn't have felt bad about not summiting if I had tickets to the Widespread concert.
Somewhere around 13,000' before we parted ways.
Bungholio & I on top.

For the record, not only have I stood on the summit of Evans with only a mountain goat for company, but I've also bagged Bierstadt (a 14er you can see from Evans) and Spalding (a CO Centennial peak that is the other high mountain at summit lake). Good on ya for gaining the peak though!
I knew you'd have to throw in a disclaimer.
Brownie has to defend his title for leaving.
Ritz rocks for doing all she did in the day
