* Doing lots of [[Downhill Intervals]] protected my quads from the descent and helped me keep up a fast pace when possible.
* Even though the daytime high was only 58, I could feel the difference the heat and sun made. The extra [[Heat Acclimation Training]] helped prepare me. Even so, I felt much better when the sun went down.
* Drinking a carbohydrate/[[Protein]] mix may have helped with the !![[Muscle|muscle!! ]] damage, though it’s hard to be sure.
* My [[Modified Nike Free]] [[Shoes]] worked very well. I did get one nasty blister on my heel from a misstep, but I don’t think I would have done better in any of my other [[Shoes]].
* I reduced my [[Walking Breaks]] to a bare minimum. I took a couple on the longer hills that are runnable, keeping the breaks to just 30 seconds or so. I also walked the hills which are generally too steep for me to run them effectively (I can’t run up them as fast as I can walk up them).
