A challenge is a hard thing to pass up. So when Gaston tapped me last week for a Q and then tee’d up the #Ramble 5K plan for Friday it seemed like the perfect chance to knock out the #MyMile Strava challenge and see if anyone could post a new PR. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to pick that mile carefully.
Conditions: 68-ish and Famously humid
TheThang:
From Trenholm Plaza, head up Forest Drive to Clemson. The mile challenge of the day was the downhill distance from Forest to Trenholm on Clemson (which is just under a mile so make sure to drag the distance a bit). At the corner of Clemson and Trenholm, the route turned left to Erskine and another left headed back toward Clemson again. But, to keep things a little more interesting, we headed up Furman all the way to Winthrop before hooking left to tie back into Clemson. From there it was simply a matter of cresting the hill again and turning right down Forest for the home stretch back to Trenholm Plaza. A twofer… a 5K in distance (or a bit more) with a speed mile thrown into the middle. Don’t forget to name your Strava activity with #MyMile to get entered to win some new shoes.
