Torc (same run as a couple of weeks ago)
Ran quicker today but started at the bottom of the hill rather than Torc waterfall as car-park there was full, so it meant no warm-up before the climb began.
Thought legs felt a bit tired on the first hill and on the flat area between it and the old kenmare road open section. Chest also felt a bit off, was puffing on the old kenmare road. Then ahead of me before the path off up Torc I noticed a ton of people on the path. Narrow and with a boardwalk at times it was going to be fun getting passed these large groups. Took the first group inside a corner plowing through marshy bit next to boardwalk and dove passed a few more when I got the chance. Because of the people I tried a bit harder so HR was up. Then another group had to be passed and after that i'd pretty much clear road to the top.
I've now determined where the hardest part of the climb is, there's a steep section, and I reckon i've it sussed for future runs, so that i'm prepared for it, rather than hit it and stop.
Got to the top and tried to stretch left quad but same as last time, the hamstring felt a bit crampish, so not sure what the issue there is.
On the descent I felt that I hammered it, tore down keeping the HR up. First group that I passed got lucky for, they'd pulled into a platform for viewing and also got lucky for the 2nd big group, they were at a lower platform. Got a big scream out of a woman there though as I flew passed:-) There were more stragglers beyond them but I got passed cleanly.
Back onto the old kenmare road and I relaxed a bit. After turning off it and into the new loop in the route the hill hurt more than last time, and left quad was a bit tight, but didn't cause trouble. Descended on the road through the open forest faster too.
Had the extra bit at the end, from the bottom of the waterfall back to the car which had a slight drag, which I felt. Happy with the run considering yesterday and not much sleep last night.
