Not the Monkey — Ran "hills" on the treadmill

4.37 miles in 40 minutes (9'10")

2.64 % incline average (611 ft over 4.37 miles)   Ok.  Flying Monkey preparedness this is not.  That elevation gain is the equivalent of at most two of the hills to be faced in the Monkey, and without the steep, quad-trashing, downhills of Monkey.

6.6 mph constant speed, except for emergency stop to tie shoelaces.

1% for the first 10 minutes
2% for the second 10 minutes
3% for the third 10 minutes
4%-6% varied for the last 10 minutes

5 minutes of 6+% very slow cool down at 2.0-4.0 mph (not recorded)
