16 miles avg 6:49 pace (net elevation drop). The plan was to start at Vivian Park, run 4 miles up South Fork then down the canyon ending at the Riverwoods parking lot where our cars were for a total of 16. Started at Vivian Park with Melanie, Melody, Josse and McKenzie, however we only got 1 mile up South Fork before the road was to slick. We started down the canyon and ran on the highway between Vivian and Bridal Veil. Melanie tried to run a mile up/back on the little road by Bridal Veil, but only made it up .3 on that one. We didn't make a concious decision as to when we started our "Marathon Pace" miles, but we gradually got going faster and pushed it until 12 miles. Then we took it easier the last 4. Splits, 8:09 (up South Fork), 6:29 (down South Fork), 6:59, 6:26 (Highway), 7:14 (Bridal Veil road), 6:35 (this was where we realized we ought to really kick it into "marathon pace"), 6:26, 6:25, 6:17, 6:21, 6:27, 6:30 (end on Univ Ave at light after golf course so this one had a short hill), 6:58 (starting cool down), 7:21, 7:18, 7:23 (last 3 north on Univ Ave to cars). |
