LM warmup (10 reps), 22.05 mostly trail miles in 3:30:10, 9:31/mi, HR 149, 3600' elevation gain, & stretching. Started with cloudy and cool but quickly became sunny and hot (67F). Shady parts weren't too bad but the sun got pretty brutal, and the humidity was up. Tackled a bunch of trails and fire-roads in the UW Pack Forest and tried to get as much vertical as possible. Kinda disappointing to see it was only about 3600'. Fortunately, I found a place to get water about halfway through, having tried to ration both bottles but really needing to rehydrate. Got pretty hungry during the run....GUs just aren't doing it for me and I just really don't like the taste all that much. I was dreaming of pretzels and boiled potatoes....maybe I should just look for a nice running sack to carry some along. So last long run before WR50. At this point, I just want to finish under the 13 hours cutoff. |
