Performance:
Course: I had no idea that this course would have 500 ft. of climbing. Very challenging by itself, not to mention the temperature. Went out at 7:35 pace for the first mile and felt great until the first hill climb. Next 1 mile gradual climb up to the top of the dam, 3/4 mile down the back side of the dam, pretty steep. Flat down and back through the dog park 1.5 miles. Back up the steep dam and rollers back in. Challenging course.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
