Fifth Overall!


I had a great run this morning.  I took yesterday off, so I had fresh legs.  I took two Endurolytes before heading out, and two more about an hour into my run, plus I had plenty of water with me.  Everything just clicked today!  I ran completely around Diamond Head going clockwise, the other times I've gone counterclockwise.


When I got home, I knew I had run strong and was curious to see what Strava would have to say:
Run at
02/28/2013 => Diamond Head Clockwise
8.6 miles in 1:33:53, 10:54/mi

5th overall on Diamond Head Circle (44:59)
5th overall on Ala Wai Dash (13:37) 
Two 5th overall!  There are some fast folks around here, so I was really excited with that high of a ranking!  Diamond Head Circle is a four mile loop completely around Diamond Head with a couple of really good climbs.  The Ala Wai Dash is a 1.4 mile flat segment along the Ala Wai Canal.  I was 8th overall on that segment on Tuesday with sore legs, but today I pushed it hard.

And now it's time to pack and catch a red eye home tonight!
