46:31/154
This reflects an endurance run the long way up to and back from Château Rochasson. We're down at 270 m above sea level. Rochasson is at about 440 m. So you climb roughly 170 m, most of it in the last 2 km.
I found myself moving quite slowly uphill to maintain a heart rate only 78-80% of my theoretical max. of 195. At that speed the legs seem to tighten as you go. The blood's not moving as fast. It seems as though instead of spreading across the rest of the body, the load gets stuck in your leg muscles. Had to take small steps when starting downhill until everything got smooth again.
