BOF rehearsal - Sat. July 28

With Ivan, off on a muggy morning to Shelburne Falls and a run over the course there. It's just an insanely tough hill, no two ways; also the two plus miles before the hill are tough and yet fast enough to tire you out. We did the whole course (at a leisurely 49 minute pace), then took a break and did the hill again. Here's the total:

Time: 1:05:32
Speed: 7.16
Distance: 7.82

Comment: good refamiliarization, and something of a strategy presents itself. After the steepest part of the hill, it's really all quite fast, so you need energy there. To have that, you need either to go v. slow on the hill, or at least bit restrained on the pre-hill. I'll aim for the latter, I think.
