Heublein Tower Run II

Long 16.5-Mile Trail Run through Penwood and Talcott Mountain area, second consecutive season.

Finished in 3:10:27, which was almost twenty-minutes slower than last year.

There may have been a few reasons for this:

  • Temperature in the high 80's.
  • Very Sunny, Very Hot, and Very Humid.
  • Stomach Problems due to a lunch that may have been "too big".
  • Ended up Lost a bit at the bottom of Heublein.

This could have started at T-Ville, with the following breakouts:

T-Ville Out        24:25 /    24:25

Penwood Out    37:28 / 1:01:53

Heublein Out    30:03 / 1:31:57

Heublein In       23:00 / 1:54:57

Penwood In       46:34 / 2:41:31

T-Ville In           28:55 / 3:10:27
