after some 5h hours i woke up with an bad feeling in my stomach. the first steps felt heavy and i had quite some pain in hamstrings. but nothing too bad. still confident for the race.

in the beginning of the warmup i felt a bit stiff but all in all ok. but with 5 minutes it was too short as well.

headed of with the pack and tried to take it easy especially on the first km. with 3:30 on the first one i think that worked out quite well. 1 k in 3:30 really shouldnt harm me. i wanted to stick to the plan to run 3:50 in the beginning and reduced the speed. but i was never able to run some kind of constant pace. already at km 2 my legs felt very heavy and i simply couldnt manage to get into the race. i always had to push a bit to keep it going and that on a 3:50 - 4:00 pace!!!!

i tried to keep the pace but after getting slower and slower i stepped out of the race after 10k. i had no problems with the stamina but the legs were just destroyed and still are (00:00). quite frustrated anyway, but now i have a bill to pay and i gonna be back one day and kick ass on that fu**ing course!

splits:
3:28 3:57 3:54 4:03 3:54 || 19:16
3:52 3:57 4:03 4:07 4:15 || 20:13 || 39:29

again quite a lot of beach volleyball. i am really getting shape. real nice playing! ;)

BUT i guess i underestimated how hard it is for the body to deal with this kind of movement. was quite tired in the end and especially in the evening. lets see how i will do at tomorrows halfmarathon.

cycled up from the lake to my place. took this one instead of an easy run.

rest day. just played some sets of beach volleyball and also made the decision not to run the mountain race due to several reasons. i will run a half marathon pretty close to my place instead. i am going for sub80. hope it works.

ran with aramader in the henndorfer forest. at least a part of the run. was incredible hot and the first third of the run felt really hard. i felt some kind of sluggish but it got better and in the end only the heat (and not my legs) killed me! ;) nice one anyways...
