| Suplhur Springs 25km Trail run. Good race finish just under 2.5hrs like i wanted so that was good for me. I usually run a 10km/hr at my snail pace. Considering i was about 20mins off of a medal in my division thats not too bad for a non-runner and poor preparation for this race
Tarno again wins followed by Maggie. And surprisingly Tarno's daughter won her division followed by Tindale! EAS sweeping up medals as usual...incredible! |

| Running 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Did second portion of the Sulphur Springs rail run, legs felt good but was working in a new pair of XA pros IIs. First impression is that its a soild shoe in terms of stability and the flexibility in the fore foot is great. Problem is that my insole is a tad fat and doesn't go down as far as in my Montrail. Result: really tender inner arches due to some serious rubbing and formation of blisters...i was mid way into the run and thought to be a tough guy and grit it out...like matches in my shoe! Going to let them heal for a few days and use the insoles they came with. Hoping that its not the width of the shoe which is the problem or else i screwed myself out of some serious cash! |
| Note | |
| |
| If can keep a consistant pace, i think i can finish the Sulphur Springs run in 2.5 hrs (goal) but for sure 3 hrs or under. Will probably register in the next few days. |
