Well, this went better than expected. I have maintained a little bit of fitness despite my lame excuse for training the last few months. This was a certified two-loop course, measured .08 short on my Garmin but it's certified so okay I will take it haha! There is about 1.5 miles of the loop going North uphill into a 20mph headwind in the cold and I rolled some terribly slow miles in there. Overall I actually felt pretty decent. I worked all night last night so getting close to 24 hours without sleep now but once I got rolling I felt okay. Tired now though! I think a little fresher without the wind I could've dropped a minute or two. This definitely gives me hope that I am at a better starting point for the year fitness wise than I expected. I actually felt pretty strong the whole time and definitely finished with some gas in the tank and not aerobically stressed, so could've ran harder I think.
