Manitou Incline

[wreave]

Just ran the full colfax marathon today and am scheduled to run the incline next week with an army buddy. My goal is sub 28 mins( that's the fastest that of any of my friends that have ran it in)
I don't know how Apollo Ono the Olympic figure skater ran it in 18 mins

How long did it take you to do the marathon? Wanting 28 because your buddy did it may not be realistic.

My wife drove the bus for a group of Olympic swimmers that wanted to run the Incline a month or so ago. They wouldn't believe her when she told them there were high school kids running it in 25 minutes or less. "Ryan Lochte did it in 28 minutes, there's no way?!" Punks.

I've never heard of a high school kid doing it in 25. 95% of the high school kids who do it can't break 30. Not to say that it hasn't happened, but a high school kid going under 25 is definitely not the norm. Frankly, not the college kids either. Stand at the top and record the ages of all the people that clock in under 25, and the average will be over 30 years old.

My best is 25:54, and I'm 40.
