Red Rocks PR
Tonight, I set a new PR for my Red Rocks loop. It's 6.8 to 7 miles of jagged trail. Lots of climbing and plenty to trip and crash on.
The temperature was PERFECT!
The Celsius conversion is: PERFECT!
I wore my New Balance 790's, Wright socks, and flimsy running shorts. I took a 20oz Ultimate Direction bottle, but I should ditch that next time.
I was gasping so hard, drooling, spitting... At one point, I somehow got the rhythm of my breathing and swallowing wrong and half threw-up, but I caught it, and swallowed it back down. It tasted like broccoli, cauliflower, V-8, carrots, cranberries, apple, and sport drink. A bit got down my windpipe. Heavy coughing followed.
When I was finishing, I was gasping and sprinting to the finish. If I had been a horse, you would have taken pity on me, laid me down and put a bullet in my brain. But it was worth it!
My old PR was 1:13:51.
My new PR is 1:08:00, exactly!
Now this is Justin's chance to say, "Yeah, but I did it in 40 minutes, dude!"

Ewwwwww. That's why you brought the water bottle - to wash down what you brought up.
Yuk, man, what a description! I'll make sure to remind myself of it at AC when throwing up:) Congrats on PR nevertheless.
PR, PR, PR! Yeah!
Hope things are going well for you!
