Short distance, but crazy difficult. As part of my post food poisoning resolution is to do as many cool runs on the weekends as possible so I drove up to Brighton to do some run there. Under 60 degrees when I got there and I was feeling the 3 races in 2 days but I decided to run to Catherine Pass, with an average grade over 10% my pace was pretty paltry, hovering around 11-12 minute pace but I got up there. The descent was just as slow owing to the steep and post rain slickness and the sheer volume of rocks which made careful foot placement a must. I added on two Brighton loops to get up the mileage, but overall it was 6.1 miles in 1:02. |
