Les and I were up until the New Year - California time! 10:00 p.m. Hawaii time was bedtime for us because we both had big plans for this morning. Les is still gone on a bike ride. I kicked off the new year with 10.84 miles. I ran Tantalus, with a little additional spur.
That spur is called the Pu'u 'Ualaka'a State Park. It was just under a mile out and back, but had some bite to it. There is about a third mile that is straight up at more than 9% grade. I hit this just after the 7 mile mark - it hurt!
There is a scenic overlook and as always, the views are worth the pain!
There are also a bunch of roosters on Tantalus. It's fun hearing them waking up the neighborhood since I'm already awake. Not sure I'd want them for neighbors if I was a night owl!
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! Happy New Year! Here's to a fabulous 2014!
