Notes
--Rallied from a 9:35 first mile (first 0.82 was uphill) to break 8:00 pace. The other two times I ran this loop were in 23:32.02 (5/23/08) and 23:08.50 (5/24/08).--
Didn’t wake up until around 10:30 and didn’t get up until around 10:45. Then I got the bright idea to get the run out of the way, despite having a headache (maybe from the night before?) and needing water. Plus the weather seemed a lot hotter than 70 degrees and I was wearing black. This probably wasn’t the best decision considering this loop.
Although short, this is straight up the first 0.82 miles. In fact, it starts at 312.7 feet and hits 606.7 by 0.82. I stopped twice and still only ran a 9:35 first mile. The rest of the loop was downhill (no pun attended) until the last 0.70 or so which was flat. It was actually the flat spots that killed me. I was rolling pretty good on the downhill but then wanted to shoot myself the final ½ mile.
I was breathing hard 1:00 in and it only got marginally better on the downhill, then back to the way it was on the flat part. My legs felt decent and I actually “kicked” it in on the turn by the “School” sign to come back the hill.
