A.M. Felt tired to start this morning. Med-long run in the woods linking a couple of routes together. One nice long downhill stretch where I kept a pace of 3:30/k going, then at about the 17k point I suddenly ran out of steam. Then it was a hard slog, I felt every remaining hill. I finished the circuit in 23k, then added a couple of k on back through the vineyards to make up my goal of 25k under 2 hrs. So, 25k in 1:57:36, av pace 4:42/k, 7:34/mi. |
