So despite it being a loop on a gradual incline, the old adage of what goes up must come down certainly balances this course out. It was cold and windy when I got there (early as always) and was going to just do it as a cool down run after Cliffhanger the prior day. This is the same course as Carry A. Nation, so out and back briefly in the park, around the pond then through and around the High School Parking lot. The uphill is so gradual you largely won’t mind it at all, but technically, yes, very little of it is flat. Not the most scenic in the world but the final…just shy of a mile…is downhill towards the finish line setting me up for another easy PR. Mainly I was too cold to be there any longer. I’ll be back next year to see if I can PR again. My only complaint is I like seeing mile markers on the course. I find them more motivating than gps device callouts since they’re more likely to be accurate, and I like comparing splits.

Slightly hilly but fast
