Notes
"strong as you feel" long run up on Magnolia Rd with Mr. Cross. We'd talked about being a little more aggressive and keeping the average in a good range from the start. I continued my struggle on the hills but this morning I had Will to drag me up them and give me someone to chase. Although the chase usually came on the proceeding downhill, I would catch up just in time for the next big climb. I tried to keep things going but he would gap the hell out of me on those climbs. Once we flipped and used the net downhill to our advantage, I was able to rally. We were able to average under 6:00 on the return leg but the big surprise came when we got to the last unrelentingly uphill mile and I was able to push harder. Will still gapped me, but I managed to hold on for a sub 6:10 mile with a ton of gain.
