| Highlander X.
Was in good reasonably shape after vacation. Started in front of the pack, twisted ankle right away after the start on some small down hill(maybe about couple minutes into race), and missed left turn ... at #1 was almost 2 minutes behind leader and never managed to recover. Ran first loop alone passing several slower people.
Trail sprint-run added some challenges after all streamers just disappeared (and my bad vision did not help at all). So, second half ran with Samantha (she started trail-run 10-20 sec. behind me).
After first aid station was together with Samantha, did small mistake at #10, but Mihai and Florin "saved" us from doing bigger one:)) Then ran with them until Mihai injuried his leg on the way to #17. Did several minutes mistake at #14. Legs started cramping time to time, mostly on the uphills.
Arriving at aid station saw Samantha leaving (she was couple minutes in front of me and Florin). Spent ~5 minutes at aid station drinking and eating, but when Joe B. passed station almost without stopping, decided to go ... Slow run till next control #19 on the trail. On the way to #20 legs were cramping a lot more, so, walked most of the time. Now, Florin and Joe were behind me. But I was too tired and legs did not feel good enough. Passed finish area, jog, then walked trying to avoid any major mistakes. Anyway was confused at #25 (or #24?) standing just few tens meters away of correct features. Turned around and saw Florin comming in ... He led to the next control and now we had only finish chute which was ~400m. Pushed harder, passed Florin, saw finish area, Florin switched gear to the maximum and passed me from behind. So, lost 0.2 sec.:)) |
