Dawn Patrol on Mt Falcon

Most days I'm in the office between 7am and 8am. However today with a late conference call schedule with our corporate office in Sydney, I had the rare opportunity to head in late. Opting out of sleeping in or running more miles around the hood, I thought it would be fun to run Mt. Falcon before sunrise.

Goal was to simply head up and down the main face since I haven't ran trails in 3 weeks and had no idea what the trails would be like. At the TH before 6am and was pleasantly surprised by how much light there was from the night sky. Within minutes, the sunrise glow was glaring all over the place making visibility a non-issue.

Sunrise itself was an amazing experience. Just bringing everything around to life.



Got in about 55 minutes of easy running during my little adventure. This route during more normal conditions has been done a good 10 minutes quicker. Regardless, this was a great way to start out the day.
