Christmas Harriman training, part 2, Long on Surebridge
9.3k, 9 controls, so long legs. Was great fun, cruising around, seeing some of the more rugged areas of Harriman (deep ravines). Enjoyed route choicing, will need to compare with the other guys, see if my choices were ok. It's a great course to work on long legs, if you intend to do it, don't read next bit, it'll spoil it partly, at least, if you have a good memory.
1 - I went right, having checked out and seen that it looked good. But as I started booking it down the road noted that the left road had less green on the way in, maybe the faster way.
2 - Initially bent a bit too far right, but was just trying to move fast and get out of the green.
3 - Checked out routes, decided straight, took my Clif Shot on the uphill slog.
4 - First cool ravine, out into flat, ran on road/trail around the bend for no reason, should have just gone straight. Or maybe there were prickly plants, hm, forget.
5 - Fun leg to make up a route, maybe possible to make one with the trail to the right? But I liked the straight up the stream, up the slope before the green got thick, stay high until ravine got manageable, then in.
6 - Left of marsh, ended up left of stream too, had to get wet at somepoint, blah. Bit tired climbing the hill...
7 - Right reentrant route, not so full of energy, but beautiful beautiful Harriman. The woods were so runable. Or would have been if not so hilly. =) Issue on edge of circle, throught the cliff on north edge was the control feature for a bit. Hmph.
8 - Went for left trail route, was pretty fast, I thought.
9 - Mmm, pretty much a trail run, cut at the beginning. Knew I wasn't going to be the ~80 min Boris + Sergei had run, but wasn't far off... Slight hesitation, first turned off trail at little rocky hilly instead of bigger one, then no streamer.
2 puffs of inhaler before, was fine while out there, getting into the warm car (parked facing sun), triggered coughing fit afterwards, a few more puffs got things under control. One more asthma attack since then, hopefully will calm back down now that I'm out of the allergen-hosting house, wish body wasn't so finicky!
Very happy to have gone out and trained, but I have got to find a better route to Amherst. Maybe just heading Taconic-90-91 is better on days I expect traffic on 84...
