Easy running 2:43 [1] 0.5 km (5:26 / km)

A run to a 7-11 early in the morning.

Easy running 14:00 [2] 3.1 km (4:31 / km) +15m 4:25 / km

From AC Transit #53 stop to the run's start. Mostly downhill.

Easy running 4:46:53 [3] 52.6 km (5:27 / km) +840m 5:03 / km

Epiphany Ultra "52 km", Oakland. The race dude turned 52, hence the length—they used to do one-mile-a-year increments until recently, until the guy got his knees done and switched to metric. The run was nicely split into 6.5-mile increments by the aid stations and the turnaround. I paced well until the fourth 6.5, at the middle of which I expired; the quads just refused to go. I dropped the pace down to around 10 min/mile quickly, and it did not drop any more.
6.5 splits: 49:47 50:20 52:54 67:56 65:56 (last one was 6.7—my best guess from an EBRPD map). Got beat by a woman. Aid station/bathroom time: 9:17—got to do better.
