 | Running race 39:25 [5]+283m | |
| ahr:174 max:184 shoes: Asics 2110 2.0 |
| Last race in the offroad series. Started along the esplande at Sumner, climbed up the hill towards Taylor's Mistake and then cruised up the spur to Evan's Pass. Back down the Captain Thomas Track.
Had a pleasant race, Carsten was only cruising with the Kepler on Saturday, so got to the top of the hill feeling comfortable right on the tail of Carsten, Chris et al. They gradually pulled away going down the hill: I still lack the legspeed.
Anyway ended up 4th about 45s behind Chris(3rd). |
