Trail run (Partial Backbanan) 22:00 4.15 km (5:18 / km) +102m 4:43 / km
Today I borrowed a headlamp from Elin so that I would have a brighter light for the night race on Saturday. My training plan had been to run backbanan while it was still light outside, but it took me too long to prepare some slides at work to make that deadline, and also since I had a new headlamp to test I thought it would be okay.
I also wanted to break in my new Inov8 280s, freshly shipped from Boston, and a trip or two around the loop seemed like a great way to end a busy Friday.
Things were great, the shoes felt nice, the conditions were good ( though there are still a lot of trees down on the first climb) and I came through the half in 12:49 or so but very soon after I was plunged into sudden darkness. First I though the battery had gotten loose, but fiddling with the wires didn't make a difference. So I decided that the battery just hadn't really been charged when I headed out.
There was enough cloud cover and light pollution to keep to the big trails and get back to my bag and my bike, and a light training before a very full weekend was probably for the best.
Dinner with Sam, Boris, and Rasa after.
