Trail Running 3:00:00 [3] 8.0 mi (22:30 / mi) +1800ft 18:33 / mi
It was definitely too hot for my originally planned run of 16 miles on the Long Trail in Vermont, so I dialed it back considerably and opted to try something closer to home.
Since I had to go to Great Barrington for some lab work, I decided to drive down Route 41 into Sheffield and to hike/run up Race Brook Trail to the AT and then head south on that until I'd had enough.
In the woods, the heat was very noticeable, but somewhat tolerable. But when I go on the bare rock at the top of the ridgeline, it felt 20 degrees hotter than under the trees--brutal. Fortunately, that section isn't too long.
I had forgotten my GPS, nor did I have a stopwatch, so I just turned around when I felt like it.
As I got back to my car, it was exactly three hours of hiking and slow running--good enough for me, given the heat.
