Prepping for the next race - a "normal abnormal" advantage

Today, Tuesday(many post today in order to catch-up), we ran the course in preparation for the June 7th race which has a grueling first mile elevation gain. Once again, I went to the reserves, my third lung, and easily managed the climb whereas the wife felt the burn and had to walk. Third lungs, I better take advantage of the "normal abnormality" as the doctor called it.
