A little tired but I got it done. Thus endeth the RtB "training"--will just do a super-slow 4 on Wednesday before heading out Thursday.

First leg of Reach the Beach. Very, very hot and humid, so had to manage pace carefully and save enough for the hills at the end. Did a pretty good job, running the first three miles at progessively faster paces, then keeping a solid (8:18) pace up a significantly uphill mile. Finished strong, averaged 7:40ish.

Legs 2 and 3 of RtB. Leg 2: Ran 8.6 miles at 3:00 a.m. Went out a bit too hard, as I knew there were huge hills (500-feet elevation gain in ~2 miles) from 3-5. I forgot that the inclines just don't relent and ended up power walking in parts to keep from totally redlining. Warm foggy 100% humidity didn't help--breathing sucked. So I went from 7:40 pace to 9:30 average for the uphill miles to back under 8:00s at the end, with some good downhills plus rollers. Overall happy with 8:14 average, even though that sure looks slow here.

Leg 3 was a flat-ish 4.1. There's a pretty significant uphill out of Exeter though, and with hot fog clearing to sun, I really had to keep from blowing up in the heat. Ran this one smarter, was able to be steady throughout. Finished in just under 7:40 pace, which again seems slow, but in the heat I'm happy with it.
