Part A - 16.91@10:47
Part B - 5.51@9:25
Broken up slightly into two parts because when I stopped to use the restroom, accidentally saved the run.
Part A was from Palm Harbor, north up Belcher, right onto Klosterman and then crossing over US19 (scariest part of the run), then north along the sidewalk with quick pit stop in Anderson Park before continuing on to Keystone Road. Ran along Pinellas Trail until Eastlake Road, then took a left and then a right onto Trinity Blvd
Ran along the grassy shoulder to get some time off of the pavement. Right hand turn into Fox Hollow area until reaching the Starkey Gap Trail, then headed northbound, crossing SR54 then stopped at the bike shop for a Celsius (it was grape!) and some shot blocks. Then continued to Starkey Ranch. Brief restroom break at Cannon Lake where I accidentally saved the run.
I had been running 7 minutes on and then one minute of walking up until this point. Pace was slow and steady (faster than 100 mile pace, but maybe a good pace for 50 miles or 100k).
Part B was from Cannon Lake back to my house. This part was faster with no running breaks, just easy running. Glad I wasn't stuck in the slower pace after the slower running in the first part.
On the way back, stopped in the bike shop to grab a second Celsius (again grape). But I had paid for it already so stop was much quicker.
After the run had a beer with Andy and Stella at Escape Brewery and then Jessica came and got me. So, had some time hanging out with Andy, baby, Jessica, and Stella at one of my happy places.
Two Celsius were probably a bit to much caffeine, but oh well.
After this, had enough energy still for a trip to Busch Gardens (crazy crowded this time but still fun).
