| Tiomila leg 6. officially 9.7km. A pretty good run, only one substantial mistake (a minute lost on #3), and a fair amount of hesitation on #2. by myself until about 6 or 7, and then with a small posse of 3-4. I was quite tired by the end (long finish chute) and narrowly avoided barfing on the finish e-punch box. Distance is a guess, since I figured it was not worth the DQ risk of wearing the FR. I should probably have a non-GPS HRM for situations like this.
Also, I just figured out why I have such a good placing on my leg (100/332, +11:56). it's because it was just dawn when I ran (without a headlamp), and many others were starting as much as 2.5 hrs earlier when it was probably still quite dark. still, very happy with my run.

| less sick today, the dazed feeling is pretty much gone and I'm just stuffy. and maybe that's partly allergies, which are also hitting me at the moment. felt a bit better after the run. at least I should be rested up for the weekend. |

| too busy at work to run the last two days. Alex and Samantha are both sick, should I try to get what they have now, or wait until it catches up to me next week? not that I would stay home from tiomila, but it would be nice to be healthy. |

| The goat. a bit more technical than I'm now used to down south. good/lucky strategery on my part. ran most of the way with the russian goats and ross. the goats were planning to skip 5, but when I saw they messed up 4 ahead of me and I didn't, I decided to save my skip. this worked out pretty well because I just about caught up to them again at 6, along with Ross who skipped 4 after messing it up, I got to follow them and JT the rest of the way until I used my skip at 18. they were definitely running stronger than I was, and it was a strain to keep up at times. timewise, I probably didn't gain that much on 18, but it was just enough, and I think I would have had a hard time with the hill. messed up the last control, but luckily that didn't matter.
I was pleased with the result and the apparent fact that my physical shape is improving (no aggravated injuries afterward either). still a long way to go I think, but a good sign. |
