I had this crazy notion this morning to hit one of my favorite courses - that took me up foremaster (hospital side). I used to love this and attributed doing repeats several times on it to my previous success - so time to get back to it! I was just doing a 3M, and I knew that 1.5M would only take me to it and then about 3/4 up it - but trust me - 3/4 is more than enough!
I was on my normal pace until I hit the upswing and then it was a killer! WOW! I'd forgotten the power of that hill. I got up to the turn around and headed back down and it took the longest time just for me to breath normal again - I just couldn't get enough oxygen into me! Got to the bottom and headed home and it just went downhill from there - I had to walk and jog, with walk being more prevalent, the last mile. Time was 29:36 (8:29, 9:49, 11:16) - but it was an awesome workout - and I will remember this day and will totally be back to doing full up/down repeats on this baby in about 4-5 months!
