Running race 5:31:00 [3]
Creemore Vertical Challenge
Well I'll chaulk this one up to a learning experience. Started out fine, but at about 15 k I was already feeling very tired and I still had a ways to go. The next 5 k felt like I'd just run 10 and at that point I knew this wasn't going to be a good race for me. As I came back around the start/finish I considered dropping, but as I wrestled with this in my head I told myself this was a training race so what better training then to keep going. The next 25 k was a very slow shuffle taking me 30 min longer than the first 25 k.
Positives from this race:
- I was able to control any stomach GI issues with my choice of food and also by being constant with water intake.
- Even though I really did not want to run I was able to will myself to keep this up and to even get into a bit of a rythm albeit a very slow one.
Negatives:
- I was slow, very very slow.
