Event: Pere Marquette Endurance Trail Run
 

Pre run.

Warmup.

PMETR #16 for me. Way off, as expected, though I did take home hardware, so it has to be listed as a race. 24th overall, 3rdM50. Not nearly so bummed over the result this year; probably because it comes as less of a shock.

No watch, so no splits. Conditions were good, but apparently not as fast as I thought they would be. Only 12 people under an hour, which is actually less than normal and the winning time was 52 minutes, well off the record. The names in the top 10 are the regular heavy hitters, so I don't think field strength was the issue.

Full report.

Trail Run - Splits

Easy jog up Goat Cliff with Bill.

Full off day in prep for PMETR.

In to work. Pere Marquette seeds have been published. #14 would normally be about right for me. I doubt it is right this year but, it looks like the trail will be frozen solid so I'm holding out a slight hope of being under an hour.

Two sets, moderately heavy, upper only.

4x2:00T 2:00R. With no watch, my only means of a proper dial-in was the mill. Tempo appears to be off by about 15 seconds/mile. That's around 2 minutes in the context of PM. PR is 58:17. If I break an hour, it won't be by much. Events, not races, right?

In to work. Seemed like rest-day pace and distance, though this is increasingly becoming a normal workout for me.

Home from work.

Crazy busy day so only had time for a short jog round the hood.
