WBR Leg 24 - 6.9 miles This leg was 6.9 miles, following a moderate climb into the town of Oakley. Total elevation gain was 589 feet, with the majority in the first 5.5 miles. Total elevation loss was 199 feet, most in the half mile between 5.5 and 6 miles. The remaining distance had a very moderate incline. Total time for my run was 59:52 (8:52 avg), with splits of 8:37, 8:54, 8:58, 9:23, 9:24, 8:22, 6:17 (.75 mi). Plugging the time into the famous ragnar spreadsheet equates that time to a 51:15 10k (8:16 avg). The run started at 6:41 a.m., and the temperature was perfect (mid 40s, I think). WBR Leg 36 - 7.2 miles I was feeling pretty tired come this leg. Sleep deprivation was really catching up to me. The leg had a 500 foot drop between miles 1.5 and 3.5, but much of it was on a dirt path with lots of loose gravel and rocks so I had to watch my pace. There was a 250 foot climb between mile 3.5 and 5.5 followed by a slight downhill and flat finish. Total elevation gain was 410 feet, total loss was 801 feet. I finished the 6.96 miles (by my watch) in 1:03:25 (9:07 avg). Splits were: 8:32, 9:24, 8:17, 8:56, 10:05, 9:27, 8:46 (.96 mi). Plugging into the spreadsheet equates that pace to a 56:20 10k (9:07 avg). I knew this run was slower than the first and second, but I didn't think it was that much slower. :) |
