9 miles & 4,500 feet up

This annual run takes place along the La Luz hiking trail, is 9 miles long and the runners gain an altitude of 4,500 feet while running up the mountainside.
The winner ran it in 1 hour and 22 minutes.
And I, the Florida intern, almost passed out from dizziness while standing up from shooting a low photo at the top of the mountain where the altitude was about 10,000 feet.
