Notes
(85, 92, 73 dp, S14) Boiling in the summer sun this morning. Just a time on feet this morning but I knew I’d be in for a tough morning. Started off with a climb up Turkey and preemptively got some water and took a Maurten Gel. Ran up the west side of the river and by the time I got over then 21st street bridge I was starting to feel the heat. I had to head back into the wind, and i wish I could say that it was refreshing but frankly it just took that much more energy out of me. I stopped for water again at the bathrooms at 56th. As I headed back on 61st, my strides were becoming heavy and I could feel each step, the signs that I was reaching a limit. I focused the last 3 miles on good mechanics and maintaining a proper cadence. I finished off the run and went straight to the Brita water jug in the gorge and then a cold shower before standing in front of the open fridge for 10 min.
