    09/01/05        Today I accomplished something tremendous -- I broke the open FKT for the south summit of Horsetooth Rock, a time which had stood for 24 years! Up in 0:30:02 (new FKT), down in 17:14, for a total time of 47:16 (new FKT). Two minutes later, Matt came through and smashed my times, but I was still happy!
