In so many ways, this was not really what I should have been doing, but it was pretty enjoyable and Ricky did a good job on the courses given the limitations of the map.
I hadn't intended on running so far, or for so long, but felt like I would be wimping out not to run the long course.
I had intended on taking it pretty easy, but the fatigue I was feeling 18 minutes in tells me I wasn't taking it easy enough. Got harder and slower as it heated up.
My navigation was woeful. Switched on at times, but not others. Sloppy near controls, not reading warning signs and unable to hold a straight line on a rough compass. Quite embarrassing at times given the nature of the course.
Could feel the medial side of my knee a bit at times, but the patella tendon itself was totally fine. Foot weas also good after some worrying signs earlier in the week.
A day off yesterday might have been just what I needed.
