Recruited Kotter and Krah. Ran from the zoo to the top of little mountain in 7:16 pace (1300 ft up) then per Nate's suggestion took it easy on the two 240 ft down miles (6:16, 5:53) and then tempoed the rest of the way down for 5.5 miles/700 ft down at 5:38, 5:28, 5:33, 5:32, 5:25, 5:29 for .5. I left them still feeling good and went back up to do another 3 miles/430 ft down at 5:41, 5:45 and 5:37
6:31 average for 22 miles and I felt very strong throughout with the 1700+ feet of climb.
