I tried to push speed Up and Down the Shooter trail on Friday and I realized I was close to a Course Record for the downhill. Went back today and tried my best. The downhill is a 1.76 mile trail with lots of sharp turns and appx 600 ft descent – an average 6% grade. I averaged a 6:51 min/mile pace and just about killed myself. Unfortunately, it was 20 seconds too slow. I need to get it below a 6:39 min/mile pace. I don’t know how I could safely do the steep parts any faster. Maybe I could shave some time by sprinting the straight sections and flatter sections more. In any case – a fun challenge, but my legs will hurt tomorrow.
