Today, there was supposed to be a "Gentlemen's Race" on the Hawthorne trail at 3:00. Being the only gentleman I know, I suppose it's appropriate that I was the only person to show up. Instead of hanging my hat and heading for home, I decided to give it a go and race myself.
The trail runs (out and back) at just over 30 miles (30.32 according to my computer, to be exact). I ran the whole trail in a time of 1:22:12, for an average of 22.13 mph on a regular road setup. I've estimated my lactate threshold heart rate to be right around 180, and completed the ride with an average of 175. I'm not sure how accurate my estimate is, but I should be going into the Sports Institute at Shands to get that and my VO2 max tested soon, hopefully.
I felt pretty good, but was definitely glad when I could see the end of the trail.
