4 miles at the high school. It was really windy, but I just went there to measure out to course from yesterday. Turns out it's a little over 1.66 at the turnaround, so 3.33. I was talking to the officials after the race since it was just me and them for a couple minutes, and they said there was like a 17 foot elevation gain. My race report has me at 5:21 pace, and with the uphill I think I deserve a 15:59 3 mile split(before the gain at the end). That was in trainers and mere hours after a very tough day so I'm happy with it. Anyway after those 4 I drove around and found an extremely tough dirt road out in the desert, it was still very windy. First two miles were about 8 pace, then the wind and downhill favored me and I got the pace down to 7:06. I went 5:40 pace on this gradual downhill for about a half mile.
