AM Workout:
KEY WORKOUT: 15 Mile Run (Ultra Style: Intervals of 8 minutes running, 2 minutes walking)
Course: Bayonne Run (partial route displayed here)
Total Time, including the 2 minute walking intervals: 2:17:39 (9:11 min/mile pace)
Projected Time without walking intervals: 2:03:39 (8:15 min/mile pace)
Weather: Cloudy, 53F, Light Winds
Another strong run. Another strong finish. No lasting soreness on my legs. I was expecting a little soreness in my legs at this time, but am genuinely surprised that my legs still feel loose after the second run. The third 15 miler tomorrow is looking awfully good at this point. :-)
One thing to note. On the Gmaps route link above, I found a little anomaly on the elevation chart, and I guess it has to do with the elevation where the Bayonne Bridge is. Apparently, the elevations take into account the natural topographic terrain instead of the elevations of the roadway. This means that, according to the elevation chart, I was below sea level at that point. LOL. The true height is about 160 feet above sea level at the top of the roadway. This is easily found on the internet because the bridge seems to be too low for some ships to pass under; there are ongoing discussions on what to do with this bridge to alleviate this problem.
As for Gmaps, well, I'll place a little reminder with them about this anomaly between natural topography and the topography of man-made structures. I'm sure in time they will correct this. Not that I'm complaining or anything. :-)
