My first day in Alaska was spent running the 15.6 miles of the Lost Lake trail. An incredibly beautiful and challenging run, specially if you come from "flat" Houston. The first 6 miles is an 2100ft uphill climb (yes, my legs did complain quite a bit...) then there is a section of about 3 to 4 miles in a plateau by the lake, followed by the last 6 miles or so downhill (yes!).
The race benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The mile markers along the course honors someone with the disease in Alaska.
