spiked:11/13c shoes: Inov 8 O shoes
Day 3 of the Italian 5 Days. Tough hilly country near Lavarone. Forest quite clean but just steep. Needed to be very strong to do well today. Ran okay but made a couple of small route choice errors that cost quite a bit of time in the end - no real misses around the controls, just a bit hesitant on the map reading at times and on running downhill (not reckless enough). Good day out though. Superb country.
Watched the WOC long distance final afterwards. Great to see Thierry G win again. And a new star in the women's as well (Minorova). Hanny Allston did very well with 14th place (at least I think it was 14th). All the top runners (male and female) looked so strong coming through the spectator control. Very inspiring.
