mission peak.. again..

This time it was with Hitesh (my CEO). Went through ohlone college trail and peak trail. The trail went half the way in shades, so it was a better choice. It was one of the hottest day of the summer today, temperature being 95+ F.

On top there was proper breeze, which compensated for the heat. Did 6miles in 2h45mins.
