Training Log Archive: Struhy

Uff, I'm HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. This race was something. Running across fields on concrete, the sun was burning from above, over 35°C! There were runners collapsing, not enough ambulance cars to take them to hospital so police cars had to help. I have never experienced something like this. I was so happy to cross the finishing line even though I almost collapsed too, completely dizzy. I was far behind my record time but I guess almost everybody was in that heat. Anyway, was glad to hear I placed 8th in my age category (don't know the overall results yet). Today I learnt a big lesson. Now it's time to get ready for another crazy run in September where I will try to beat 92 kilometres. Frankly, I have no idea how I'll manage it but I hope I will.

Probably my last training before the Saturday race. Now it's time for some relax, massage, etc. (sunny, humidity 60%, 27°C)
