- run 2:55:53, 32.32 km
let myself not worry about keeping HR down, overall average 134 but it crept up into the 150s over the final few km, especially (obviously) on climbs. i got a little lost toward the end, forgot that the route i ended up on has a section of busy road with no sidewalk or shoulder. oops. ended up a couple miles from home still when i hit 20 miles (which was the planned distance) and walk/jogged it from there. not logged.
knees got a little achy and also the evo SL's most famous problem - the tongue and laces kind of suck - reared its head for the first time for me. left tongue started sliding over and rubbing against my shin after about 25 km, had to bend down to correct it a few times. mildly annoying. but no posterior knee issues, no ITB issues. right plantar flexor just a wee bit at the beginning.
