Running 1:45:52 [4] 18.0 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Vasque
Xterra Race at Makara Wind Farm
Great course - a real mixture including about 3Km along a beach, contouring along steep wet slopes, dving through bushy stuff etc. Unfortunately the hills were a bit too steep to run up, partly because they were so slippery. Also wished I'd worn O-shoes - didn't because I thought much more of it was going to be on fairly hard surfaces, but would have been OK.
Foot felt a bit sore at the start and on the way down the first hill. Then on the beach slipped a couple of times with ankle turning outwards - hurt a lot. From then on, had to be cautious, particularly along the rest of the beach and a lot of the tricky and downhill stuff (though still generally gaining on those bits).
Physically not feeling great. Legs (quads in particular) fairly tired, and struggling with the 9am start.
Foot sore for the rest of the day. Had been intending to go orienteering as well, but probably wise not to.
