I think that is a great distance/time combo when considered with your training leading up to it. <br /><br />I'm cooking up at 30 mile night run on the Chattooga for 6/18. Email if you are interested. Feel free to run it solo - at least you wil know some other runners are out there with you. <br /><br />Also, a group of us will be attempting the Foothills Trail on 7/24. You know you are always welcome. <br /><br />Glad your summer is getting off to a great start!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489669181064604529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350937355544223394.post-32321829837200119492010-06-08T12:04:41.474-04:002010-06-08T12:04:41.474-04:00Hi Coach.

He pulls stuff like that. He did that to me at the Massanutten. That's what I get for marrying someone who tapes up his broken arm and keeps going. :) Anyway, I ended up stopping, too due to stomach troubles and it sounds like you made a good decision. And I hope it wasn't me cutting the course! I lost two minutes on an early lap and think I missed a turn. Hope to see you at state XC next year!

It's hard for me to imagine what 6.6 miles feels like these days.Malcontentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350937355544223394.post-43527952882740419532010-06-07T23:54:53.158-04:002010-06-07T23:54:53.158-04:00Eh, then again, New Year's Eve was a kind of m...Eh, then again, New Year's Eve was a kind of miserable drizzly day, but perfectly runnable on a fast course (though I can't handle the asphalt well) and I ran 70 in 17:44, so 66 in 16:58 in the heat on trails seems about right. Maybe I'm just plain old slow. Got to figure out a way to minimize time in aid stations. Feel like I have to shop around too much and mess with too many things. To combat that somewhat at Hinson Lake, I'll have to carry some stuff with me. No way I can stop every 15-20 minutes going around that lake and have a decent race.Coach Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038645513961527757noreply@blogger.com
