Running race 2:02:58 [5] 25.0 km (4:55 / km)
ahr:177 shoes: Brooks CP Green 2
Creemore Vertical Challenge
Bash and I decided to do this on Thursday.
I kept the HR in the low 180s on the climbs, and high 170s for the rest.
I expected long climbs and enjoyed them, moving up in the pack, but I lost time on a long steep downhill.
Felt good overall though, and finished up with the similar time and placing as the Sulphur Spring run -13th overall, 7th over 40.
Note- I really liked the way this event was run. No chip timing but still accurate results, great venue on the race director's farm by the river, really scenic views, Creemore coffee as swag, pizza and Creemore beer after the race, maple syrup, coffee and home-made ceramics as podium prizes, tons of draw prizes.
