Legs are a bit sore but not too bad. I ran on the treadmill just in case. Wanted about 6 in 45 and ended up doing 6.5 in 44:20. 1.5 at 7:30 pace, 1.5 at 6:58 pace, 2 at 6:27 pace and then 4x20 second strides at 5:00 pace and a cool down. All flat. Felt strong throughout.

If I was a betting man, I would put me in the 1:18 range for Saturday's race but I would like to beat those odds.

If the over/under is set at 1:18, I'll take the under. I think the over/under should be set at 1:16:45 though. Good luck!

That's a good target. It's not quite the screamer this year with the course change but I think the net 1500 foot drop still falls into the ridiculously aided category. Unlike DesNews, most of that drop comes over the first 8 and they even have the nerve to throw some uphill into the last mile! And if I need to wait until tomorrow to really sort out the damage in my legs, I may be deluding myself.
