🔥 Run For The Firies 🔥
There’s a big difference between 10km versus 100km races.
To be exact.. 10.6km today
I’m so out of race practice for the shorter distance. So I needed a plan 🗺️….
Because this has big, f-off hill in the first part I chose to be very CONSERVATIVE for the first half. Then take advantage of all the down hill in the second half.
😬 turns out what felt conservative was really running at my limit for the distance.
The hill took its toll and I had to find a big of reprieve across the top flat section.
Onto the big downhill and I ready to use my strength….but !
… I don’t if it was a lack of racing fast
… or the hill took more out of legs
… or idea of my fitness versus reality is way off
I just didn’t feel I was taking advantage of the downhill.
That’s ok..👌 the effort was still there.
And I’m very happy I was able to run hard for the entire race. I’m just not as fast as my ego thinks I should be.
A great race, I love one of my local trails. Great atmosphere with perfect weather today ☀️
And the post race chats with everyone is always a win 🥇
🏃♂️
