The BackBlast:

Tis the season for BRR training (for myself, Pinto and Strudel this year!) so I wanted to try getting some hill repeats in on old Skippack Road in Lederach. Slightly modified start time of 5:37am in order to make sure no one showed up at the normal Arrowhead location. For this run we met at the Bay Pony Inn, then completed about 2 and a half rounds (~ 4 miles) of running the complete stretch of Old Skippack Road from 113 down to Groff’s Mill Road and back, with the climax of course being the hill approaching the Bay Pony Inn (which we got to enjoy three times)!

Strava says YHC got in nearly 500 ft of elevation gain, but it sure felt like more. Old Skippack Road, we’ll be back!
