Two days later and it was significantly warmer at 21ºC. Fortunately it wasn’t too warm and my fears of being slower went unfounded. I pushed toward the end, successfully picking up speed on the last km, and managed to finish slightly ahead of Tuesday’s pace, coming in at 5:10/km. This run also marked the first time this year that I did a full week’s worth of runs. Yay.
There’s not much else to add. The run went much as it did on the previous one, though I better planned my switchbacks so I could end before getting to the gate (and the road/sidewalk). Some dope on a bicycle came flying around a blind corner and had to make a sudden course correction to avoid plowing into me. Why do people do these things? “Hey, I know, I’ll ride my bike really fast around this blind corner where I can’t see what, if anything, is coming. Nor will I be able to see if there’s just a giant abyss to sail into, or large pointy spikes to be impaled on, or a rabid dog. Or an abyss filled with pointy spikes and rabid dogs.” I think if I got on a bike again I’d spontaneously start hating myself.
Anyway, I’m cautiously hopeful that I can keep the pace up with a more ambitious run on Sunday.
