LM warmup (10 reps), 20 miles in 2:35:34, 7:46/mi, w/ 2275' climb & equal descent including a 600' climb in 1 mile. Ran a fairly quick 20 in the mist and light rain up the long gradual hill into the Elbe forest land and down the steep backside & return. Pushed the downhills a bit since I was only doing 20 and need to condition the quads. Ran-walked the steep climb at mile 10-11 but still made decent progress up the hill. Done in time to wolf down some food and head to meet up with Dianna @ the barn crew for some paintball. Always wanted to try and never gone until now....a day later and I'm exhausted, but not sporting the bruises that most everyone else has. What does it mean when 90% of the time I got killed were headshots? Definitely buying my own face shield/goggles if I ever go again....couldn't see 5 feet in front of me most of the time due to google fog. Still, a good (and muddy and exhausting) time had by all. |
