Running race 3:29:00 [5]
Decided at the last minute to sign up for the Dirty Girls 32km race. I figured this was a good way to get some training in on a hilly course, but in a setting where there was support and some motivation to push myself.
Starting out my legs were pretty sore from a good week of training. I tried to set a consistent pace that wasn't too hard, but meant I was pushing at the same time. By the third lap I was starting to feel the effect of the week and the heat. Slowed down even more on the fourth lap, but felt I still finished strong.
At the end I was pretty beat. It was incredibly hot out there and although I drank a lot I still downed 2 bottles of ginger ale/gatorade after finishing. Headed home and stopped in Orangeville for a sub and a coke, that hit the spot and I felt better after that.
