Made maybe 2min of mistakes, a good race but felt slow. Pushed really hard regardless of how i felt.

fast race, felt good. A few 10s mistakes, 2 of which were from bad routes. The beach leg was really tough.

Course 3 Sprint Distance - Splits

Course 8 Middle Distance - Splits

sprints and plyometrics

the regular...

was really looking forward to this evaluation to try to improve on my last attempt, but things went wrong today.
I went too fast off the start again, but mainly it was that for the last half i had bad stomach cramps. On top of that i was way too hot. Standing around it was freeezing but i once i started running hard i got way too hot.
I know it's a lot of excuses(i could come up with more), but the positive is that i toughed it out for the last 3 laps and managed to get the exact same time as last month!
laps:
230
242
251

Event: OOC Cité des Jeunes
 

Brought my friend Nic from the ski team out. He's a smart guy (engineering) and a fast runner and so the intermedite looked too easy to him and the S.A a bit too hard. So instead he did the L.A with me. I did most of the navigating but he did really well and followed along most of the way, and even saved me from accidently skipping #8. We were moving pretty well, made a few small mistakes, but although he's a fast road runner i think he found it difficult trying to keep up through the woods:)

He said he found it really fun, and found it was a big adrenaline rush while running through the woods. Also thought it was crazy how much thinking there is to be done the whole time while running. I think he'll come out again :)

will post routes later, fun course by the way.
