Run tempo 1:15:00 [4] 7.2 mi (10:25 / mi) +590m 8:18 / mi
shoes: Salomon SpeedCross 2 2009
Skyline trail race route. 6AM gun. With Brendan, Ross, and Will.
A rather disappointing outing; I was definitely slower than I expected. It seems like (at least relative to Ross and Will) that I am really bad on downhills. I have seen this in orienteering races, too, but it is hard to miss when you see the distance pile up before your eyes.
However, another disappointment was going up. On much longer runs at the Blue Hills, I would be running up these same hills. Today, after the 2nd ascent, there wasn't a whole lot of running. Not sure what to make of that. I guess I was pushing harder on the flats meaning there was less gas for the uphills? Don't know.
