Early morning run with Dave & John. No warmup, right up the hill at a quick pace - gasping pretty quickly. Managed to hang with John & Dave for about 3 miles or so, but in the dim, misty morning light and wearing monovision contacts I kept tripping on things & becoming somewhat airborne with the associated adrenaline surge - after the 3rd or 4th 'almost' spectacular wipeout, I was drained and had to back off the pace quite dramatically. Let the boys go so as not to hold them back. Alternated slow run with walking the hills and then a prolonged walking stretch around an hour in. Got back into a running rhythm after a while and on my way back down to Line St John & Dave caught up with me and I resumed the 'fast guy' pace with them to the parking area.

The fast running pace felt good, but the 'saves' took the juice out of my system. Running in brighter conditions with glasses I probably would have been ok. Not sure why I was reduced to the long walk in the middle, but I guess its all time on the legs. The pace graph tells the real story...
