42 Min Run (RACE) "Conquer the Bridge" 5 Mile


SAN PEDRO -- This race was pretty awesome. This bridge goes something like 140 feet off the ground and you run over it twice. Great hill challenge, great downhill practice, generally a cool race with a Labor Day theme as it's in the Port of Los Angeles hood and the view of cranes and ships and containers and boat slips aplenty is bonkers.

Generally ran a very smart and solid race, keeping the legs pushed, while also tackling a monster hill that sits in the middle of this thing. Probably about a 1.5 to 2 miles of uphill altogether. Good stuff. Finished strong, worked at not taking water during the race and keeping legs stiffer. 42:40 I think was the time.

Finished like 134th out of 1,500, top 20 percent of men, top third of age group.

The brain training wagon express train continues.
