Yellow Loop: First leg of the Ragnar Trail Relay and it was brutal. So hot and hilly. I walked so much of this leg. The course was beautiful. I even stopped to take a couple of photos. But I was not up for the heat and hills.

Green Loop: By the time this run started, I definitely was feeling better than this afternoon. It was a short run, and not crazy hilly. I tried to run it as fast as I could without falling. I did notice a lot of some flickering green lights on the ground that seemed like they were disco spiders. Didn't stop to confirm.

Red Loop: Leg #3 of the Ragnar Trail Relay. This was my favorite of the bunch. Possibly because it was the last and I got to the sun rise. When I started it was dark and not too hot. It was just a nice really nice course with a good mix of technical and hills with sections that you could focus and get a good rhythm. I didn't go out too fast, and managed a negative split. Once the sky started to get light, I could hear the birds start. I also confirmed that the strange flickering I noticed on the ground were indeed disco spiders. What a great way to end this relay. I'd definitely do it again.

I struggled on the bike while climbing the hill portions of the course. I do fine on long straight rides but really have a tough time while hill climbing. Any advice or training tips?
