Running - hilly or rough race 1:47:49 [4] 7.6 mi (14:11 / mi) +1330m 9:11 / mi
Mt Washington race for my second year. Pretty hot dry day, even at the top. I died in the second half (unlike last year). Calves threatened to cramp in the last 1 1/2 miles and did with 200 m to go, right in front of my cheering friends and relations. 32 seconds slower than last year for several reasons: 1) a year older, 2) not getting enough water and Power Gel for the weather conditions, 3) not recovered from the Tuesday race, and 4) starting too fast trying to break the 1:43 record for age 67. Splits: 11:22, 13:08, 14:05, 14:10, 15:04, 14:56, 14:46, 10:14 (note first and last "miles" are not).
