XC skating race 3:10:25 [4] 42.4 km (4:29 / km) +550m 4:13 / km
ahr:159 max:171 shoes: Salomon X-lab skate
Einsiedler Skimarathon. (178/242)
Signed up on Thursday evening in a moment of O2 shortage.
As my longest training this season was 26k or 1h40 I knew that the challenge will be on the last 10k - but knowing wasn't enough...
Temperature at start: air -18, snow -20.5 C
Started slowly and was early towards the last third of the field. We did a 1.3k loop at the start and then went off for two loops. Snow was pretty packed at on the first loop and I was already hoping that the cold temperatures had helped. However, after the bridge (which was foced double polling) the snow got soft, sticky and with the number of participants pretty deep.
Finished the first 22k in 1h27 feeling ok and ready for the second loop. But after the climb at k26 I first got some slight cramps in the leg which got worse after k30 and after k35 I was completely wasted. As of there it was a stop and go decided by the cramps. During the stops I didn't know anymore how to stand to loosen the cramps. The last 7k took me 46min...
Unlike in O-events my mind was still ok as the pulse was low so I could at least enjoy the surrounding:) (good to see in the HR graph)
Interestingly my fall back gear today was 1:1 which shows me that the training session were not for nothing. Also the upper body could cope well with the tracks, only after around 40k I also got some cramps in the shoulders but that was neglectable.
Personal hero of the day is AH who finished at the age of 74 in 3h20 - just great!
