Day 3 of hill-climb week.
Legs pretty trashed, so I almost went with plan B, but after an 18-mile warm-up at a Phil pace (ie. heart rate, not speed), I summoned up my resolve and soft-pedaled up South Sugarloaf. 9:59. And then a couple of miles cool-down and I was all done, plan B saved for another day when I am desperate.
Sugarloaf, for those who may not realize it, has an illustrious history of hosting championship orienteering events, highlighted by the 2011 RollerSki O' Sprint Champs.
I'm not picking these hill climbs just because they have an orienteering connection. It just seems that most hills do. Monday's hill, Mt. Holyoke by the way, also has an orienteering connection, it being the site of the FKT from the top of the ridge to a cornfield on the far side of route 47, roughly 47 seconds, the record held by a certain JJ Cote, launching in almost calm conditions. It is a record not likely to be broken.
