2023 Unsupported "Non" Trail Race Unofficial Challenge #19

Penwood State Forest 6.4-Miler

Adding Elevation to the Work will be necessary to jump-start my running fitness.

Today, I visited Penwood to tackle the 6.4-mile route from Wintonbury Road south on the Blue Blazed Metacomet Trail (800' climb) and back on the Yellow Path (500' climb).

Finished the 6.4-miles in 1:29:30 for an average of 4.3 mph.  With 1300' of gain, and difficult rocks and oak leaves throughout the journey, I am pleased with the effort.
