2023 Unsupported Trail Race Unofficial Challenge #1

McLean Game Refuge 11.2 km (7.0-miles)

Seems like this is the first run of 2023 where I actually ran pretty darn hard, at least for some of it.

K2 and I drove out to McLean with a 90-minute limit to meet back at the car.

Roughly 3.5-miles into the run I was averaging 4.3 mph.  To cover the ground and trails I was hoping to I realized that I needed to "speed up".  From that point on, I began to push and run "hard".

Ended up with 7-miles (6.95 on the gps) in 83:45 for an average of 5.0 mph.  It felt great.
