Notes
I wish I had Magnolia Rd as a training ground before the trials. The road is nothing but up and down and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I came into this time on feet long run hoping to push the pace, and while I did run faster than my previous jaunts up here, the hills and altitude were still a lot to handle. I was nearly gasping after the first big climb but did what I could to rally. I rinsed and repeated the ball-busting routine until the 9 mile turn around. I tried to gain some pace back with the net downhill but I found my body was feeling weak with a few miles to go; maybe I over worked the big climbs on the way out. I'm getting a little better at this route but there's still a big learning curve before I can crush it. (Kettlebell)
