Clearest skies the valley's seen in months after a night's rain. Crisp and clean, the dirt just wet enough to hold ... this day just screamed bluffs run.
Stole a page from crossfit endurance's one minute ladder, but ran a 5 minute ladder down, then back up. Each half was almost just barely enough to get me to the Zipper (5.27 up) and back.
5 min on, 1 min walk, 4 min on, 50 sec walk, 3 min on, 40 sec walk, 2 min on, 30 sec walk, 1 min on, 20 sec walk, 1 min on, 10 sec off, then zipper, then back up the ladder on the return. Okay, you get it.
Really brutus up the emBankment hill, and hiked the zipper itself. Felt like lead mostly, and was really tasting the Giovanni's Pad Thai going up the zipper. The return run was a negative split in terms of what distance I was able to cover, even though I took 10 seconds rest off of each walk (5 min on, 50 sec walk ... better). First real run in a while.
8.5 hours /36 hours. PE: 8. 219/15 - 220/11.
