Trail Running (Ridgeline Trail - Putney) 3:53:00 [3] 20.0 mi (11:39 / mi)
From start at Putney Rd over Ptny Mtn, the Pinnacle and the Ledges. Past County Rd almost to where trail turns down to Athens. Last 2 miles at N end rough, rest great rolling ridge running with views of Grn Mtns to the W. Came back on W Cliff trail from 5 Corners and that was also tough running for 2 miles.
Trail will be extended to Cambridgeport at the N end, making it 14.5 end to end, with several intermediate access points. Smooth surface, no rocks: nice running.
Felt good; weather started in the high 30's and got to high 40's and windy. Kept even splits out and back except for the climbs. Pace relaxed, going for distance on this one. Drank a can of Red Bull from the adventure race before I started. Guess it worked, but had so much caffiene I probably won't sleep for a week.
