I needed a little change of pace, and to get outside for some of that fresh, oppressively hot and humid southern air. I sprinted up Spencer Mtn., and then back down.

This mountain supposedly has an elevation of 1,250 ft., and I'm not sure what the grade is. All I know is that it is pretty darn steep, and it was obscenely hot when I did it (95F). I sprinted up that F'r, and it felt like my heart and lungs were going to burst. The terrain was very rocky, and I actually had to climb boulders to get to the very top.

I forgot my watch (dumbass), but I estimate it took me about 10-12 mins. on the ascent. I followed up with some 100 yard sprints and a few miles of hiking.

It was fun going up, and I definitely want to go back and do it again for time.

Wish I had my camera too...awesome view from the top!
