Doesn't this look fun? T-minus 2 hours until game time. Oh boy.

I got destroyed by the treadmill. The incline last year was 10% and the winner (Max King) went about 2.15 miles in the 15 minutes. This year the incline was raised to 15% but stupidly I went out at about the same pace as Max. I basically blew up in the first half mile and ended up only running 1.4 miles. It didn't help that I was in the first group to grow so I had no barometer for what pace to run. I suspect Seth will do much better but Max King will probably win again. At least I get to add my first VO2 Max miles for the year. Miserable to say the least.

That sounds hard. 15%? jeez.

You also ran a marathon 10 days ago! That sounds so hard.

It was a very subpar performance for me but still fun. At least I got a pair of shoes out of it and tomorrow's run will feel like a walk in the park. :)

if you get bored w/ the gradient of the road, you can always pull a killian and just sprint straight up one of the hills alongside the road

I did the baby 10 min version of this a couple weeks back. Some of the worst pain I have felt. But in the end it was so rewarding. I can't believe you were doing it so soon after a marathon!
