TM racing the leaderboard.  Longer workout in the virtual HM training series with one of the IFIT guys.  warmed up for a mile or so, and then kept the miles over 9 mph, and varied speed and incline on my own.  jumped up to over 10mph for some pickups.  Went hard for the 60 minutes, and then cooled down.  10 miles in 1:08:36.

DNF - another tough day in the woods.  Daniel Boone Natl Forest with a rainy/T-storm most of the day.  Route was marked, but, not very well - 3 missed turns and reroutes in first 10 miles had me +1 mile in first 10 miles.  Tough technical aspects with lots of mud, slick rocks and wood bridges, roots, down trees, overgorwn brush, and even some sandy beach areas... Yes - you read that time correct.  lol
