Time: 46:51
Pace: 9:22 min/mi
Comments: Having done the reconnaissance on the Coombs Creek Trail last run, I wanted to do the full five miles to get a feel for the uphills it includes. Basically, this course is out-and-back with all of out going down and all of back going uphill.
I just tried to keep a constant but not overfast pace on the first half and then slugged it out on the second. There are some steep sections that are not too fun but, overall, I think my performance was reasonable for a first attempt. Still, it's not fun to see my pace fall precipitously on the final mile.
