I had been planning to do this training run for the past 2 weeks. Today I woke up at 7am to get an 8 o' clock start and get to work by 4pm.
The run to the base of Blackhead Mountain gets in almost half the trail. I find the run down from Windham High Peak and up and over Burnt Knob and Acra Point to be one of the more crucial sections. Last year I made it to the base of Blackhead in 2 hours. Today I made it in 2:02. It took 36 minutes to reach the base of Acra )after reaching WHP in 53 minutes) and 33 minutes to go upa and over Acra. I was quite satisfied. My ultimate goal would be to make it in under 1:50.
I took it a bit easier on the way back but still made it in just under 2:30. One more quality workout and I should be good to go.
