But my overall pace was about 13 seconds faster per mile this year too. I think I knew the course, what to expect and I had a time goal. So add all those things together and you end up with a decent run! Thanks for being interested!!glennlavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297126957276750178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-17943521166666530542010-06-25T17:03:04.526-04:002010-06-25T17:03:04.526-04:00Very good, Glenn!

Are you more fit, did you acclimate better, did you use a different strategy or what? <br /><br />I am familiar with mountain trails and know something of the challenges they provide, although I hike instead of run. I am also from a lower elevation. To me, acclimation is the biggest factor apart from general fitness. Going out too fast is a temptation in mountain hiking too, especially when one is used to a fast pace at lower elevation. <br /><br />We're all getting older, but it's good to see that you are fitter, wiser or both. Congratulations on your very good time!Carlnoreply@blogger.com
