Big city loop ending with 7 miles of MP in Audobon Park. Started easy for the first 2, then progressed from 6:40 to 6:10 through 16. I switched to marathon flats back at Audobon for the last 7 miles.
Miles 17-23 in 5:37, 5:43, 5:42, 5:45, 5:41, 5:38, 5:37 for 5:40.4 avg. 6:16 avg for the whole run.
The MP segment felt mostly good, though it got fairly tough the last couple miles. My left quad started to complain quite a bit. I practiced with GUs throughout the run. Took 3 different flavors at miles 5, 12, and 20. No issues with any of them.
