Well I went back to read my blog about this race last year and can't believe that I had forgotten how difficult it was! Today was a bit of a bonker race, about 15 mins slower than last year. Not sure if that was because of the heat (ran out of water, was dizzy, thought I was on another planet at one point, don't ask) or because I ran more races this spring, or just because I ate svenhard pastries for breakfast, could be it) all in all a tough race with total ascent 4313 ft and descent of 4372 ft, fast mile was mile 5 at 6:58 and slow was mile 11 on hill from hell, a soul shuddering 23:47. delusions, now I know what it would be like to perish in the desert with no water, horrible, horrible. I need a hydration pack or something for these I guess! Next time, next time. will post my place, etc, when they post 'em. |
