As I mentioned in hughmac3's log, the temperature was probably to my advantage going out a bit earlier I think ... firmer crust. According to my "2010 US 15km Trail Champs" handicapping system, you still beat me by 3:24, quite significant. I would like to use a 15km world record for this (I would think the spread from M40 to M70 would be slightly less there), but I couldn't find the data. Anyone?
Well done hughmac3!

HR NOTE: a little SALT water got the HR monitor working immediately this morning. Perfect!

After yesterday's rain and last night's freeze, lotsa black ice on the street, and the woods were more icy. But more solid, too, so it was a double-edged sword. Running just off the edge of the track was best ... not to much slog, or too much slip.
Going to upgrade my HR zones based on new data (from ONA, nice!). Forgot to do it today before the run though ... was shooting for 167avg (new 85%), but the conditions (particularly on the downhill) precluded that amount of push, a nd I was a bit beat up from yesterday.
Indeed, the MicroDEM software made a nice importable DEM set. Super cool! Basic contours complete.

Rogaine training alert: I want to hike the Batona Trail again. And finish it this time. Without injury. I'm thinking S to N on Saturday April 2nd. Interestingly, there's DVOA O at Pakim Pond the next day. Huh. Hmm. Ho.
May be enough time to prep a bit, and plenty of time to decide. Anyone interested? 49.5 miles of Pine Barrens beauty. Well, about 35 of that, and 15 of roads and such.
If the Byrne cabins were open it would be ideal to stay there the night before, drive down to Bass River in one car, and hike back to Ong's Hat, and hit the cabins. Then hang around the DVOA O the next day. But they seem to be closed for renovations. Hmm. Maybe a camper at Ong's Hat? Huh. Ho.
