SMS Uphill Run Test

We are doing some base line tests with our summer group this week and this morning we ran our 2 mile uphill test.
The first mile goes up a pretty good pitch on a dirt road. The second mile is easier and on pavement.

Poppet takes 1 mile splits while Gino and Carson zip by.
Tyler, Koby and Sophie at 1 mile. Tyler started conservatively, then flew on the last mile.
Erika, Isabelle and Mac. Issy gets runner of the day by setting a PR of over 30 seconds!
Heather.
Austin at the finish.

Hallie nears home.
This was the first time doing this test for about 1/2 of our group. We will do it again in early August and hope to see some improvements from doing good summer training.
