Cave Hill dry run -- Sat. May 3

Met with Ivan at 10 for a tryout on the Leverett course. Mainly it seemed familiar enough -- we were taking it easy and followed the regular route. The downhill at the start was shorter than I recalled, and the mid point uphill, at about 2.5 miles, was shorter too. But the push at the end and the brutal last quarter mile were as memory said: very tough. Here's the data:

Time: 43:57
Distance: 5.45 miles
Speed: 7.4 mph

Comment: it was a chilly morning considering the week, but that's fine as the weather for the day is going to be lousy, it seems. I wish I could get another practice run in, at least of the last mile. Oh well, just have to see what happens.
