Weather: 87°, overcast, slight breeze
Time to summit: 28 minutes
About this hike: Cool (relatively speaking), got a parking space right by the trailhead, not too crowded...Should've been a record time to the summit. Unfortunately my legs said otherwise, as I experienced quite a bit of fatigue today. Could it have been the sleeping pill I took last night? Didn't tie/beat 27 minutes...again.

Hot, Uneventful Saturday Piestewa Climb
Weather: 92°, sunny, quickly rising temps
Time to summit: 29 minutes
About this hike: Beat last Saturday's time by one lousy minute...but I'll take it. Speaking of last Saturday, Channel 12 never showed the interview I did right after my hike. I admit I was pretty gross looking (not clothed from the waist up), but I thought I gave a good interview for the camera. They couldn't even have the decency to put the video on azcentral.com.

Piestewa Peak On TV...
Weather: 92°, sunny, quickly rising temps
Time to Summit: 30 minutes
About this hike: First really hot hike of the season. It took me 30 minutes to the top with a number of rest stops. There was a rescue in progress when I got there, but the trail was still open. Got interviewed by Channel 12 as I was coming off the mountain. They asked me questions about the heat, how often I hike, what my records to the top are, what advice I'd give other hikers, etc.
