run 20 miles (Freel Peak, very roundabout) 5:32:27
Freel Peak is the highest peak in the Lake Tahoe basin (just about 50 feet higher than Mt. Rose). The normal way to get there is via the Rim Trail. I cooked up this dumb idea to start off Pioneer Trail Road and go through Big Meadow. That totally sucked, as we had to do a ton of cross country hiking. The climb to the peak was no joke either, it is very sandy for the last 1/2 mile or so. A very good run, but a challenging one. I only have a couple pictures. I would like to go back and bag the "big three" - Freel Peak, Job's Peak and Job's Sister all in one day. I'll bring the camera then.
