Two double legs in a row, yikes. Ran 20 and 21, which were both labeled easy. The first one was, nice downhills a lot of the way, but 21 was a beast, with a huge elevation gain, a lot of which was in one mile straight uphill. Came through halfway in just under 8:00s, but with the monster climbs slowed to 8:10s for an average, which I'm still content with. Then ran 34 and 35 getting close to the coast. They were mostly flat with a few inclines, including overpasses. Had to wait a while to cross Route 1, so that added to my time. Ended up with 7.4 miles at a rather steady 7:45 pace, again not super quick but given the circumstances I'm pleased to be able to maintain that after 23.4 miles within 22 hours.
