Returned to Camp Heidelberg's 2.5 km trail loop doing the Wise Raven 6 hour event. I wasn't super into the race and treated it as just a good long run. The weather was rather nasty, too warm for running pants but too cold for shorts add a bit of rain and some gusty cold winds...not my ideal running conditions . I was going to set up my Aid Station/Chair on the loop but opted to go slightly off course setting up inside. Instead of gels I opted to take a lunch break half way downing a G and a Pastrami on Rye Sandwich. Only drank 500ml of water in the first 3 hours , a G at lunch then that was it until the race was over. Started the first loop with running pants, stopped and took then off after one loop. At lunch I changed into a dry T and switched shells. With 1 loop to go I changed into my pants and swapped out the wet shirt for a dry one then just walked the last 2.5 K not wanting to sweat again! It was a fun event seeing allot of the Endur folks + lots of other running peeps. I am glad I did it I was happy to get a long run in and the easy pace with breaks made for a quick recovery with no ill affects the next couple of days after the run.
Blue Day 3
-
Fresh snow and sun brought allot of folks to the hill today. It was busy
so I didn't get a whole lotta runs in.

Tremendous run in that awkward temperature range. Lots of elevation there.
