Today there is definitely radishes and lettuce. There are also big holes in my beds thanks to mystery animaux. Hmmm...

I did the Bimbler's Bash. It went okay I suppose. I am disappointed with my time, but given my running recently, it's not exactly surprising. I found my racing legs about 1.5 miles from the end, but was struggling up the hills. There was some good camaraderie out on the trails and it was a lovely day for running. The X Talons were awesome. Starting slow was probably good for pacing but was definitely bad for overall time- you lose extra time trying to get past people and you definitely run more slowly. Still, I was feeling rubbish at the start and better at the end, so I probably wouldn't have changed the plan.

By the end I was enjoying this enough that racing myself fit doesn't seem like the worst idea ever. Looking at the HR graph too today really was the best I could have expected to do, so fair enough.

Also, I think feet has remarked on this in the past, but this has to be one of the longest 10km races out there.
