went all out to howling pete's lookout at terre haute. I think this is my fastest time ever but i need to check my previous times. I wiped out on the short muddy flat section trying to go around a water pool. Luckily the ground was soft. I felt really strong to the top of the first climb of 400ft mostly in 0.55 miles. I enjoyed the 200ft descent that followed and started hurting on the second big climb of 250 ft. At least i know there is room for improvement. I touched the bench in 16 min 27 sec leaving me with the goal to break 16. 5 sec could be gotten back by not falling. Sub 15 would be sick. I didn't really plan on running hard. I was pretty tired after and suffered horribly on the rest of the loop of huge, washed out hills. total vertical over 1700ft. |
