15 up, 4 @ gmp, 3 down
4 in 20:36 (5:15, 5:06, 5:09, 5:06)
Rainy LR on the bike trail from WWP out to Urbandale and back. Had Kaylee along on the bike. Beautiful morning with temps around 60 and on and off rain throughout. The 1st 15 miles were quite uneventful, maybe felt a little tired the first 3ish but once I got settled in the miles were coming easy
Wanted to run 5:15's for the hard portion and exceeded expectations big time there! The 1st mile felt so easy, the 2nd I let things get a little hotter than I wanted, dialed back the 3rd and finished strong the last. I definitely could have gone a good bit longer at that pace if I needed to. Great day and big confidence booster. 8 weeks to show time
With Kaylee on the bike I was able to get Gatorade Endurance in throughout, and took 2 Maurten caffeine gels and 1 regular Maurten gel. They all settled well
