Notes
After all the rain we got I was expecting a muddy course, and it pretty much was. Some spots were so incredibly slick I had to walk carefully to not fall. Lots of slips but no falls, so there is that. Had to really slow it down on some of the areas where I usually go pretty fast, and had to walk carefully around some real wet spots. I'm sure hoping there's still some good training value in this... About 15 minutes of stop time for drinks, talking to Peter and rests. It was so cold and windy at the top of Ester Dome I thought I'd freeze! Much better on the trail parts though, where protected from the wind.
Taper time!
