2.5mi, time indeterminate

The Bats, "Courage"
The Bats, "Sighting The Sound"

WX at 0700: 72 (22), DP 68 (20), BP 30.10 (1019.3), E 6 fog, RH 87%

Odometer 4: 26.0mi

Z2.
Resting heart rate before start = no reading today.

Today was going to be speedwork, but I woke up late and realized I'd forgotten to do the homework for class this morning.

Instead, I decided to try to vet the course for the two-mile run I've plotted digitally. It looks close, but I'll have to grid it in with a GPS later. While I was hitting splits around 2:10 or so, I don't think I was really going 8:40 pace...or maybe I was. The GPS will be the determinant, either way.

The other thing I have to check is the slope of the hill around split 7. I have to be sure that it doesn't exceed 3% or I've got to start from scratch and map out a new course.

This will entail getting back to my cavalry scout roots and doing the manual computation for slope of a hill just I learned in the Scout Platoon Leader Course over ten years ago. Ha!

Splits
start: 1:28 (not 1/4mi)

2: 2:12
3: 2:09
4: 2:17
5: 2:06
6: 2:07
7: 2:02
8: 2:21
residual: 3:17 (not 1/4mi)
