Running race 3:28:02 [3] 33.0 km (6:18 / km) +1000m 5:28 / km
shoes: Asics Landreth

Les Cretes Vosgiennes race. Took it as a training. Very cold at the start (my guess - approximately 5 degrees and lots of wind), so kind of enjoyed the serious climb some 1.5 km in, since it warmed me up. That was followed by plenty other climbs. I think that this is my first serious trail race, so I had not expected that at places it would be extremely difficult to run because of stones/mud, etc. Enjoyed it and placed in top half despite taking it relatively easy. Had taken two gels with me but only had one at about 15 km. In fact, did not have all of it, since the cold had hardened it and it took a lot of effort to squeeze some of it out.

Running 1:13:28 [2] 14.0 km (5:15 / km) +50m 5:09 / km
shoes: Asics Landreth

Ran late-ish in the evening after playing 18 holes of golf in the morning. All day was very hot and uncomfortable but then it finally rained just before 7PM. It was still very humid out but the run was very comfortable and I went home only because it was already getting dark and I was getting somewhat hungry.

Running 51:00 [2] 9.8 km (5:12 / km) +20m 5:09 / km

Running 1:07:05 [2] 13.2 km (5:05 / km) +20m 5:03 / km
shoes: Asics Landreth

Finally managed to start sufficiently slowly, partially because of the strong headwind. Sped up in the last 2 km.

Running 1:46:09 [2] 20.3 km (5:14 / km) +80m 5:08 / km

Feeling good, tired within the last 4 km.

Running long 2:04:16 [2] 23.0 km (5:24 / km) +40m 5:21 / km
shoes: White Asics II

A bit shorter then it should have been according to the plan but I had modified the plan before starting, so all is good. Felt fine except for the difficult last 5km. More food and less alcohol does wonders, it turns out.

Running 51:58 [3] 10.3 km (5:03 / km) +20m 5:00 / km
shoes: Asics Landreth

Had to cut the run short and even then struggle all the way back home. I attribute that to not eating properly yesterday and this morning, although it might also be the few too many beers I had yesterday, the slightly too warm weather or any other random thing.

Running 39:29 [3] 8.0 km (4:56 / km) +30m 4:51 / km
shoes: White Asics II

The same route as on Tuesday but with a bit less inspiration and enthusiasm. A wildlife comment: last week I got hissed at by a duck. OK, I can agree that I was overtaking her ducklings the wrong way. But today the same thing happened with a muskrat. And there were no ducklings or muskratlings around. Go figure!
