On Friday did a recovery 6km in preparation for a big weekend...
Saturday did the infamous Phil's Hill run (map) in Darlington with Sandgroper and Sas - about 22km @4:45 HR146 420m ascent, 692 bpk. This run is the classic pipeline then turning off the trail after about 12km and heading up a gravel 'road' - Phil's hill - to the huggy trail just west of Charles Rd. It's about 3km from bottom to top and it's got some fairly steep sections, with average footing (apparantly though it's better than it was due to recent grading). It's a real relief when you get to the top after about 16 minutes of quad killing climbing - about 220m straight up at an average grade of just over 7%. I have to say it was longer and steeper than I expected.
Tomorrow's 15k at Deepwater Point is going to be interesting....
