trail running 40:43 4.35 mi (9:22 / mi)
Back over to the other side of Mt. Toby for another test on the Power Line Power Climb (.85 miles, 800' climb). Last time a couple of weeks ago was 13:54 on a day when the legs felt good, and when I was surprised and delighted by the time.
So today's plan was to match or better that, and in particular to run at least all the first quarter (the steeper pitches get steeper as you work your way up, and each quarter on it's own is tougher, plus there is the cumulative effect).
Splits from last time at the usual places: 3:45, 7:26 (3:41), 10:13 (2:47), and 13:54 (3:41). But I forget to check these numbers before I left, so I didn't really know how I was doing. All I know is it was a struggle and I felt slow. So this time the surprise was even greater as I reached the top in 13:07. Where did that come from? Whatever, very cool.
Pulse was around 170. Ran all the first quarter. Running all the first half would be really hard.
Splits this time: 3:29, 6:58 (3:413:29), 9:37 (2:39), and 13:07 (3:30).
Plus over to the start (6:28) and back down the jeep trail from the top (21:08, includes a bit of time dealing with a dog, owners couldn't be bothered to do anything to control it).
