Landscape Arboretum Take 2
Always trust the body! It does not lie!
The Arboretum maps apparently give distance on only the trails that are specifically labeled with that name, ignoring all the distance you have to cover on other trails before you get to the main trail you're traversing, so with Matt's handy GPS training watch, we were able to map last weekend's route on Sunday. You can play with all the Garmin online features here (the screen shots above came from the data provided by Google/Garmin), except for the heart monitor, I just couldn't convince myself the discomfort to Matt would be worth the data:
Garmin Connect - Activity Details for The long loop at the Landscape Arboretum.
The part that most amazes is how far we went -- 4.28 miles in less than an hour-- with a crazy amount of elevation change (up and down, up and down). Maybe I'm in better shape than I thought I was. I managed not to not fall at all this time, and the trail was a bit icy, so I consider that quite the accomplishment--I even skated up a few of the mellower hills. . .
Matt on the first hill we climb up on the Arboretum Trail
Big Ben's bench, in my opinion, far more useful than a tombstone.
Me on the bridge before the last hill push to the end.
