After suffering through another brutal six-hour CFA exam (of course, if it was not difficult, I would not want any part of it), I did a hill workout to prepare myself for the Ragnar leg of the Wasatch Back. This was my typical hill workout that consisted of running from my home up through the Holladay neighbors, up to and above Wasatch Boulevard to the top of 4500 South. I completed this 5.8-mile uphill run in a time of 47:41. Consequently, this was my fastest time for this climb by nearly five minutes. As I ran back down, I took the long way home by running over to and down Murray-Holladay Road in which I clocked one mile at marathon pace. Adding on the 3.3 miles that accumulated earlier in the day by running around the University of Utah campus before, during my lunch break, and immediately following the CFA exam, I accomplished a total of 16.6 miles for the day.
In addition, I did my non-running workout before taking the test, which consisted of 200 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
