Event: Creemore Vertical Challenge
 

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.

Easy jog in the park to take down the ribbons from last night. Logged as a 2 since I had to keep stopping to pull down the flagging tape.

Hanging flags for tonights training.

We had a lot of new people out tonight which worried me a bit with the training I had set, but turned out that it was perfect for them since they were doing it at a walking pace.

Mild discomfort in my foot, but not the pain I had last week.
