Sun 8/23 - AM 140 minutes

Another rollercoaster long run in the Northfield/Winchester area. Route was mostly similar to last week incl. the Burt Hill/Schofield/TV tower loop, but instead of Birnam to Winchester at the start I went up and across the ridge to the reservoir and down Louisiana. Took more fluids during the run, partly due to added length and partly due to continued high humidity. While the hills were tough as always, effort-wise the run was under control, never really tired in that sense. Legs were a different matter entirely, mainly the descents being the issue. By the time I was coming down off Schofield they felt like jelly. Doing the hilltopper route two weekends in a row is definitely pushing it, if only for psychological reasons. I'll be keeping it flatter next weekend.
