Notes
Felt ok at the start. Not real fresh or anything, but decent. Did a bit better on the first hill than expected. Coming down was tough. Very steep. 2nd hill was again pretty decent. Coming down that one was rough cuz it was steep, rocky, and icy in places. Not real fun. 3rd hill was again stronger than expected. The north loop was ok. The ice and mud slowed me a bit, but I was kinda watching my watch to motivate me to keep moving. Here my hips started tightening up. Towards the end of the loop at the top of the hill I started being able to stretch things out a bit and the hips loosed back up again. steep downhill was tough. Then finished trying to stretch things out again and keep moving. 30 sec/mile faster than last week. Happy with that.
