That's a good time, Dan. I've timed that short trail from the parking lot to the ties about 10 times. At a steady, but not fast walk, it's 3:00 to 3:05. I used to time myself from the "cheater's start"...my best was 29:24. So I figure I'm 32:24 from the parking lot.

29 and some change...but from the cheater's start above the Barr Trail parking lot. ;) I was surprised at how little I had to "run" to get that time. Seemed the key was just don't stop at all and run when you can.
