Notes
weather was rather shitty, but deal-able. the wind was cool enough to keep it interesting and strong enough. I'm pretty positive i went out to hard. According to McMillan calculator i should be running somewhere in the 5:59-6:14 range and going out to fast killed me from the beginning.
saw a few people along the trail, but it was mostly quiet which made it easier to keep moving at a swift pace. the hills were lots of little rolling ones which made it hard to keep the same effort the whole time which could be where some of the blame goes as well.
All in all not a bad first time at a tempo.
