Warm-up: 5:00 @ 3.0 mph
Main: 30:00 with HR in 125-135 & 6% grade (Peak 3.0, finish 2.4)

This is the session that helps prepare me for the climb in the March. The event climbs around 1400 feet in 7 miles. The last 3 miles is about 6%. I am quite happy to have covered more than 3.5 miles in the hour-and-a-half. If I can get up the climb in 3 hours and average 3 miles each hour for the rest of the course, I should finish in 9-and-a-half hours including a bit of a cushion. If I can find 45 minutes out there, I will hit my target of 8:45. The high point in the course is very close to the halfway point in distance. After Sunday, I will develop my game plan.
I felt better today than yesterday. Much fewer muscle complaints. Better socks helped matters in the blister department, but I still have a bit left in the same place I had one yesterday. For the rest of the week, I will apply moleskin and see how that goes. I'm quite content to have a minor blister be the worst issue I'm handling at this point.

Whoo hoo! You are ready!
Have you tried Body Glide for the blisters? When my feet sweat a lot, I need a lot of Body Glide to keep them blister-free.
I have some Body Glide, but I haven't tried it. I might try that before the moleskin.
Thanks,
Clark
