Warm-up.

I felt quite slow and in general out of shape off the start. I was very surprised to find myself in the top 10 overall. As the race continued a few people passed me as I settled into 8th place overall around the 6 km. mark. I held the same position until the finish. I finished in 3rd/171 in the 30-39 age group and 8th/650 overall. I won a trophy for the effort. This was the hardest 10 km. I have ever run! 28°C, no wind and 92% humidity! After the race when I was kicking my shoes off to get a massage I pulled my right calf really badly. It seized-up and I could not move for 15-20 seconds. The masseuse thought it was funny. Not good, I believe this is a re-occurring injury from The North Face 75 km.
