Day 3 of the training runs. We ran from where the support parking lot is for Green Gate to the finish. Today was hot. So I changed it up and ran in a tank top and with bottles. Also really focused on keeping the heart rate below 150 which is sort my cruising pace.
It took a bit to loosen my legs up and then I felt pretty good. Was in a line of runners including 3 woman with names of Kaci, Stephan and Megan and a fellow named Ian. All of them have top 10 finishes at one point or another and I think 2 of them have won it. I decided I should probably slow down.
The part from No Hands bridge up the climb was hard because I was pretty hot, but got through it and then enjoyed the run down to the track. I stayed off the track (saving that for next time i'm here). Glad I did this as I learned a lot about the course have a good idea what I want to do for the final weeks of training also.
