Started out strong, then didn't do so well between 10 and 18. But I took a drink at 16, with a GU, and an Excedrine, and things got better after that. I finished in 2:58 net time, 3:10 gross time, stopping to change shirts, hide gloves, and fish out my drinks, and take a couple potty breaks. The route took me across parleys crossing after going up into the eastwood area, then down 21st, over to Parley's Way, down to Highland High, around sugarhouse and back to Highland High. Then south, by Oly Jr., the canal road, Hilsden, back along Wander, to the S-curve, up Evergreen, the frontage road above Skyline, and home. |
