warm up

Prologue. Did alright. Ran in my inov8 212's for the first time and they were great! Should have rounded the marsh to 6. Should have gone closer to the stonewall to 9, went very high. My head was getting tired for 12 & 13. Ran through ferns at some point and the fresh smell reminded me of o-ringen.. aah, I wish!

FR 4.567km

warm up

Reversed chase start. Started out well.. to 1st & 2nd. Then I got tricked and tangled in the green IMPASSABLE to 3. Ran into it thinking it wouldn't be too bad to pass on the thinnest strip. Huge thorny bushes, climbed and got stuck. Was very close to tears. Got it together and fought my way back out, found a less bushy way and made it out to the trail. All ripped up. Kind of lost my motivation and all open field running in the sun made me really tired. Felt slow and walked some parts in the end. Didn't feel like sprinting for the finish even though there was a lot of cheering going on =) But as Boris was blocking Joe, I had to speed it up and punch the finish before him!

FR 4.637km

Exhausted, beer-o after this would have been tough.

Prologue - Splits

to & from the gym

at West Rock with Mike & Boris. Nice running conditions, easy pace, fun conversations. Forgot to start my watch after stopping to look at a turtle.

to & from the gym

With Mike around Maltby lakes. Beautiful evening. Although I think running would have been more pleasant a little later when it had cooled off. What is it with humidity that makes it harder to breathe?

to the gym, slowly walked back together with Katy
