running 1:21:50 [4] 11.5 km (7:07 / km) +450m 5:57 / km
Phantom Run Race. My first trail run as a race experience. Started too fast and had to slow down a lot after the first half. Had fun trying to hang onto someone and keep the same pace. Did pretty well at the beginning even in the hills. After crossing The Seymour River I started to fall down the field of competitors, first slowly, but on the way up to Powerline I got passed by a group of women and was not able to keep directly behind them. I kept seeing "my group" all the way to Homestead climb, so not too bad but just a bit too far to run with them. A lot of people still finished behind me. Result probably somewhere just below the middle, hopefully pretty close to it. Thomas, Magnus (2nd) and Louise won, cool! I for sure ran a lot faster than my last training on a similar loop, took 8 minutes off.
