Two RtB legs.

First was 4.4 to Bear Brook, ran pretty well, again my first mile was the slowest, as it took my legs quite a while to get moving. Final splits 7:34, 7:19, 7:09, 7:21, 6:49 pace to the finish, 31:55 time, 7:18 average.

Second was 4.0 to the beach, a flat scamper through much of Hampton. My legs were tired but maintained a steady pace on the pavement and concrete: 7:19, 7:22, 7:22 and probably 7:20ish through 3.7 or so before I hit the soft sand on the beach, which had me floundering. 4th mile was 8:24 total, so 30:27 for 7:37 average. Then the finish cluster. Yikes. But very pleased with how well I ran overall, much stronger than expected throughout the race.
