This one was pretty nasty but informative. I started at the bus dropoff for HCH, run up to the start, then down three fast. The three miles drop 160, 120, and 105 and took me 5:16, 5:20, and 5:16 so a good increasing effort across the three. I then ran back three to the HCH start slow and tried two down fast with the first moderately hard and the second very hard. I got 5:25 and 5:18. So, it looks like the endurance is coming up and even better I didn't go sub 5 on mile 1 of HCH but I am not guaranteeing it wouldn't happen in a race :) Uphill miles were 8:15-8:30 except last one back to the car at 7:45.
