Hybrid surface long run

Made a relatively clean attempt on the Mitchell Canyon to summit segment. Of course there were still quite a few moments where I paused to figure out navigation (you can see that my stride rate dropped to 0 several times). The worst part was right after Eagle Peak, I somehow got myself on a crazy sketchy downhill where I had to basically stop moving and slide down a bunch of rocks to meet up with the actual trail. The Bald Ridge portion was probably my least favorite, the trail is difficult to follow, very tight and there’s lots of slow treacherous downhill in there. I feel twice in one minute going uphill in there! I kept my effort very controlled for most of this effort, and it wasn’t really until the last mile and particularly the last 4 minutes that my legs really got heavy. I took a lap right at the stairs leading up to the lookout tower, thinking that might have been the end of the segment. Luckily I walked up the stairs and I think the segment might actually have ended atop the tower. This is definitely not my favorite way to run Diablo, and tbh I don’t really want to give it another go anytime soon. I do, however, want to do the segment from Mitchell Canyon to Deer Flat to Juniper trail to the summit (the way I ran down today). That is mostly fire road, with very little downhill. That I know I can get a clean, consistent effort on and really put up a good time. Probably in a few months.
