Met Tom at Lake Georgetown at 4:30 PM. Temp 98 degrees, but there was a breeze blowing so that helped. We ran two loops of the route across the dam, on down the road, back up the hill, then down through the rocky face of the dam, the back across the bottom of the dam, then down the rocks to the parking lot at the bottom of the dam, then across to the hill that went back up to the starting point. Repeat a 2nd time. 6 miles of heat and good running. Heart rate stayed about 155 for most of the run and in the mid 160's on the uphill sections. Tom's HR was generally about 10 to 12 beats higher than mine.
Went home and watched Cal State Fullerton beat Georgia in the last game of the College World Series, a great series for Fresno State. They set a record as the lowest ranked team to win the College World Series. Don't we love the underdogs? |
