Notes
It was my intent to run this at a 10:00 pace. Good thing I banked some time, because the last three miles beat me up, due to fatigue and dehydration. In the first twelve, I felt great and was nailing the pace on the way out. Beating pace for a while on the way back. Then, I had to stop and rest at East Bridge, and another rest and rehydrate at Walton, and even at the A Street crossing. Got it close to 10, anyway.
Chatted with Sharla at the trailhead, and met John O shortly after I started. He was looking fresh and strong, presumably after 19. Nice day. Thistles were lovely, people were friendly.
