Notes
My best run thus far. Not v motivated and was prepared to call Chris to pick me up. Toes numb for the first 2 miles. Feet wet the entire time. Dressed well. The north face jacket is the best purchase. Some wind but not too bad.
About 1:20 stops not included in time, so more like 8:17 pace.
I had a low right before the big downhill and immediately after. Felt amazing on the hills. Did not push at all. My goal was to feel like I can do 4 more miles at the end, rather than push to get a faster pace at the end. Could not believe how I felt my best miles 17 through 22. Feeling confident and I think 8:15 will be the best I will go for. Barely looked at watch since I had the jacket cover my hands.
HR 156 (v low for me). 775 feet gain. 2 gels only, banana before start. 16 ounces water only -2 stops on course and sips from my bottle. Ate out on Thursday with Mirelle and also extra last night.
