4xHills - 1.6 mile warm up from PVHS to Sunrise Tire Hill (Foremaster): a .25 mile hill with a climb of 116 ft. up a lava ridge (I think a perfect hill - long, but not too long to push all the way; steep, but again not too steep to push all the way). 1st-1:57 thought this might be a long day 2nd-1:55 felt a lot stronger and figured I could get through 4 3rd-1:55 pretty excited to hit the time again when I could feel the hill really working me 4th-1:53 got stronger on each one even though I was wiped out by the end of this one. Decided to run back along Foremaster route to add a few more miles. After getting to the bottom down by the carwash there was road construction so I detoured back up the Mall run reverse and back to PVHS. Took the miles back nice and smooth. Hit a couple near 6:30 on the downhill parts and the uphill and flat to the finish went about 7:15. W-150 RHR-41 (has stayed up in the low 40's a little lately) |
