AM: Jog over to meet Tim Proctor at the corner of TerLake/CarrHill and on to Harr Lakes for 5k Series Race. Did a couple strides when we got there and snuck off to the woods for a pit stop. From the start, Tim and fell into about 5:45 pace and it turned into LT on uphills and cruise/recover on down hills. Tim ;ed for a bit and normally much faster than me, but, has been training for cyclocross on bike and not much running. I went by at about midway and held on to about same pace with a bit more effort.

5:46, 5:42 (5:35 GAP), 5:34 (5:46 GAP), and 5:14 pace for partial for 17:37. GAP is a good indicator of the hilliness of the course and the effort required. Course loses 65 ft. over the last mile.

Ran the course again after a short recovery with 2 miles at AT, and then jogged home with Tim.

19.9 miles total

That's a solid time for a 90+ mile week with all the quality and double workouts lately.

Any goals for the half next weekend?

Thanks, Jason. Don't really know was thinking I'd like to break 80, but, the course is described as a "challenging course"...
