AM-Well, I had started out with the intention of going slightly depleted and a bit over the marathon distance albeit at a slower pace.. Started to feel depleted a little on the trail even though things generally felt ok with the resting pulse and during warmup. Fortunately I brought some strawberry and banana gu that Steve Hooper sent me this week. It went down right well with some water at the fountain stop. Things almost immediately looked better but not wanting to press my luck, I cut the run short, and called it a day. Stopped at my friends place hitched a ride home after visiting a while. Felt the bonk and so mission accomplished. 22 miles total at 7:30-6:30/mile. Dark Horse out...
PM-Easy 8 mile afternoon jog to loosen the legs. No time, just let my body dictate the pace. |
