Training Log Archive: R Anderson

Was completely exhausted after the long. By 9pm I was feeling really sick and not sure that I would be able to run in the morning. Tossed and turned all night but woke up in the morning not feeling too bad.

Jogging to the start I could feel that I was pretty slow, but I assumed everyone was in a similar state. Glad that it was going to be a short technical course.

Bobbled the first three controls, was quite shaky. Ran hard to 5 and nailed the control and caught up to Wil. A bit too excited to 6, and didn't plan things out well enough. Went in too early and ended up too high, but was bailed out by others. Hesitations in the circle at 7 and 9. Good leg to 10, spiked the control but Wil got ahead right after when I got stuck in the thorny vines. 11,12,13 were super fast, running behind Wil and catching Magnus. No chance to pass Wil into the finish.

Happy with the race and result. Some things to improve on though.

Overall a great weekend to cap off a great week. 3 good races.

Thanks to the organizers and to Becky, Neil, and Ali for hosting us!

Lots of small dumb mistakes today, but nothing major. Really tough physically and was dying for water throughout. Happy with result, but things should have been better.

Note: Won the finish split! Who'd have guessed... :P
