Running race 27:02 [5] 7.9 km (3:25 / km)
shoes: Adizero Mana (Sept 09)
Grus 8an test. 70 starters tonight! For a club time trial I find that crazy!
Ran 27:41 in the fall, and that was my first time ever running the loop, so I knew I could beat it by a lot. Goal was under 27.
Was feeling quite tired during the warm up. Legs have been feeling heavy since the weekend, and the body tired as well.
Despite all the people at the start, the field spread out really quickly. It seemed like some people were starting out too fast, and I decided to simply run my own race behind Hugh, who usually has the same tactics as me. Was just him and I until 3.5k where we caught Hedberg at the top of the 2nd hill. Hugh continued to lead the two of us down the back stretch. Felt like a struggle from the start, and I was having a bit of trouble staying with Hugh throughout the race.
It seemed that we were gaining on some guys ahead towards 5k, who I'd hoped had started too fast, which lifted my spirits a bit. Felt ok along Delsjön and I tried to convince myself that I was going to outsprint Hugh and Hedberg. Decided to go for it up the last hill at 6.5k.
Passed another of the fast starters by the top of the hill with Hugh right behind me. Focused on my practiced downhill technique over the last km and managed to stay ahead of H and H. Was gaining on Junis and another guy in the last 500m but couldn't quite catch them.
After 2k I decided to not bother looking at the watch, since it was too much to keep track of. I really wish I'd taken a glimpse in the last 100m though. Heard ':02' as I crossed the line. Gahh! Oh well, I was still pushing really hard right to the line.
Really fun race and nice to get a pb. I think tactically I couldn't have done better, although I feel a bit guilty about running on Hugh's back almost the whole time. Oh well I ran in the front in the fall. Looking forward to 26:xx on a day when I feel a bit 'fresher'.
