HK Team Training @Kaohsiung Metropolitan Park
Course A: 4.74km, 14c (ISSOM 1:5000, 2m)
This is the other part of the park where I came to run the WRE sprint back in February, but the terrain is completely different. This part was formerly a landfill which has been converted into a park. Besides some paths, there aren't too many manmade features. There are some monitoring stations scattered throughout. Mostly it's open / rough open grassland, sometimes with scattered trees.
I had expected to have a sprint training on semi-relevant terrain in preparation for the AsOC Sprint in a few days. Instead, I get a really really long 'sprint' course on terrain that doesn't quite match with the competition area. The legs are also non sprint-like.
The left leg/hip/hamstring areas are quite sore from the physio treatment last night. In generally, legs just didn't have the zip and I struggled to keep a good pace.
