TOTNT - Riverdale Rally
AP log from previous PB run in October 2008:
A well earned new PB ...just wish I could have found that last push on the final climb to get a sub 24min. Now I'm certain I can pull it off one day in the near future.
...well near future came in the form of 2yrs later.
I'd been looking forward to this run all week, knowing that the PB was coming down today and even my legs knew this morning when the feet touched the floor that it was going to be a good run. Haven't benchmarked on the rally route since last April and previous PB was just before running my Boston qualifier back in fall '08. Typically I have to work extra hard to take off a second here or a 1/100th of a second there, but thrilled to have (a) finally cracked the 24min barrier that I never seem to be able to breach and (b) destroyed the 24min barrier. Plan is coming together...
Conditions: (Level 3) ...temp ~20deg, sunny and soggy ground in spots.
