After getting my usual overrunning out of my system, I encountered something unexpected. Legs 4, 5 and 6 required racers to cross steep 20m canyons, down and up each canyon repeatedly between controls. I now know my knee is no longer stable enough to climb and descend loose footing canyon walls. Add to that my fear of heights, I spent significant time descending backwards or sliding down on my butt. Because of the canyon crossings, for my own safety I cancelled plans to do my first goat run on Sunday. I had been looking forward to the goat format.
In the weeks preparing for the event, I ran too much and did too little (none) map reading practice. In the race, I ran well over 10k to travel 3.9k. To the left, I overran control 1 by twice the distance and eventually spotted control 2 so I could line up control 1. How excited was I for this event?!? To the right, I overran control 3 by 1000m. That is correct, I ran two unnecessary kilometres on leg 3. Taking 90 minutes to control 3, the bottle of water I carried was empty and there was not enough water at control 3 for me to add to my bottle. Without messing up the first three controls, my total time should have been 40 minutes quicker.
Hot, tired and thirsty, I was still able to settle down. I persevered and finished, something I was unable to do just a few years ago. I'm glad that I got to see the northeast section of the map. The terrain was so scenic but too much effort to carry a camera and keep racing. I walked the final three controls as I was wiped.

Year in review, I ran more in 2013 than previous four years. Thanks to run club, my average speed for the year was not slower. I'm not pleased that my cardio workouts total barely met my previous year's total and barely met government guidelines for 150 minutes per week. Hopefully I can increase cardio to three hours per week. This might be a challenge now that I'm again using the HRM.
