| Eric, Marc and I took part in the "5er-Staffel" today and we were even on the same team! Eric ran the first leg, I ran the 2nd and Marc the 5th leg. It's a handicap relay, which means the 2nd leg is for either women or old guys and the 4th is also adjusted.
Eric had a solid first leg run, complained of a small mistake at the end, but otherwise strong and good. He came back 22nd, 4'30" behind the leaders. I had an okay race, actually the first 40 minutes were very good. I could push to my limit and felt good. I might have pushed a little too hard, because suddenly I couldn't think anymore. I could still run fast, but reading the map became difficult. This was just before the spectator control, and on the last loop I totally lost my ability to concentrate and ran into a tricky control without paying enough attention. Ended up at my next control and had to go back to the right control. Lost about 3 minutes here. Doff. It was such a weird feeling to loose my ability to think, especially since for the first part of the race I was leading this group and really running aggressively and seeing everything. Suddenly, from one minute to the other, I felt so insecure and tentative. Strange. I still pulled us up to the 8th place, which was cool, but my time could have been better.
The next two runners on our relay team did well and we were in 7th place when Marc went out on the last leg. He made up 2 places and so we ended up 5th. Cool! Results are here:http://www.o-l.ch/cgi-bin/results?type=rang&year=2... |

| The first day in a long time that I haven't come home from work totally exhausted and unmotivated to do anything. Running felt really good too. I think I may have survived the slump I have been in. |
