It was a hot and humid morning in SA!  Took the first 3 miles easy, and then hoped to settle into a slightly faster pace.  In the end it was a battle to maintain my pace, and the last couple of miles I was a litrle slower.  Overall pace was 7:25. 

You;d think i would be dissappointed, but I am actually pleased that I stayed calm and was senible.  I knew my physical limits and inability to deal well with humidity.  I listened to my body and made it home in one piece.  That is always mission #1.  Today was not my day...but if it were easy and always fell into place then it just wouldn't be life ;o).

There was a big frat party near the house last night so didn't sleep well, and then woke up late.  Didn't have time for much, but figured that a couple of miles was better than no miles ;o).

Felt pretty tired this morning so I was relieved to hear Mark say “let’s take it easy this morning”.  As such we ended up with just under 9 miles at a recovery type pace.  I don’t think my legs could have gone much faster though.  I guess the ½ marathon took more out my legs than I imagined!

Hot and humid this morning...far too similar to last weekend in SA.  Oh well...Decided to take it easy, and just do the Dam Loop on the trail.
