Notes
Ran on the PCT from the duck pond with Jen, Dani, Mel, Dot, Desi, Cally, Katie, and Caroline. We jumped off the trail to do a loop on the hilly dirt roads (Buell → Hadden → Gunn → Sheldon), ending at the Tienken house. I stayed in the second row so as not to tick anyone off with pacing. Our first mile was a bit lax (7:56), but we quickened up swiftly.
Fell off the lead group ~12 miles into the run, but kept them in sights the rest of the way. Gotta work on transitioning back into competitive long run mode. Coaches also said I should focus on drinking more fluids during these runs. I sipped from my water bottle at every station, but I need to take in more each time.
