I started the Pinnacle Loop at 7:11 a.m Central today, or about three and a half hours earlier than last Saturday. It was cooler. I got it in 1:47:20, with splits of 16:57, 31:00 (20:48 up the rock wall), 18:55, 22:16, and 18:12. I ran the loop 7:39 faster than last time, most of that gained on the final two stages, around the base trail and on the Ouachita Trail back, which I did 6:54 faster. Also, I cut the rock-wall split from 23:42 to 20:48. I cannot imagine that I once did it in 15 minutes.
I feel much better sitting on my couch now than I did at about 1 p.m. Saturday, and am confident I will recover in time for a race in two days (though this will qualify as "training through").
