Saturday - Feb. 23

Vertical Mile trail running race
 - Camp NuHop, Loudonville, Ohio
 - 18.8 miles
 - 4:13:32
 - 5993 ft. of elevation
 - 13:27 pace
 - aveHR 153
 - maxHR 176

I definitely went out too fast and ran with some guys I know I shouldn't have, but it was fun while it lasted.  I kept pace for 3 of the 5 3.5ish-mile laps.  Then I knowingly backed off just in time for a id lap 4 wall and bonk.  I had some good self talk along with the required fueling before recovering a bit mid lap 5 to finish feeling better.  Overall a great time and my endurance fitness has greatly improved over the years which is nice.  Better pacing and fueling strategy going into the SuperBull 50k in 2-weeks should yield a strong result and PR.
