AM - 7th annual Abraham Lincoln 4th July Run. We ended up meeting at 4:15 at the bottom of the Veyo Wall, jumped on the shuttles and headed up. Them temps at the pickup were about 92F - I think our hotest year yet. However, due to the overcast the temps actually started to cool a bit and were probably in the high 80's but the time the run was over.
The group, overall was a little faster this year. I ended up running with Superfly and Tom D. most of the way. We just chatted - mostly about triathlon stuff ( expecting too much without training enough, overtraining, benefits of running, etc.) For the hills I pretty much just sand bagged as much as I could without dropping off too bad. Clyde is starting to become quite the hill climber. After we got to the water drop I decided I wanted to try to beat my time from last year so I picked up the pace for a while until my hips and lower back started acting up and I had to slow.
Once we were done we soaked in the stream, took pictures and chatted with everyone else as they finished. Good times. 1:02 |
