Run 1:38:00 [3] 11.5 km (8:31 / km) +480m 7:03 / km
Long at Six Mile. Decent run - less clean than yesterday with a couple small mistakes (left control 5 90 degrees in the wrong direction), a few legs with potentially better route choices, and in general less confident with staying in contact with the map so consequently more stopping/walking. 1:15,000 played some role in that as did some longer legs that didn't necessarily seem to have route options where I could turn my brain off and simply run for a bit. Lots of climbing with great views of Kamloops Lake near the top of the course. I'm not sure I would choose to run in spikes again on this terrain as I found the frequent loose rock an ankle rolling hazard when the spikes would catch the rock. Tweaked both ankles consequently. Overall I seem to be getting rid of the very big mistakes that used to be a feature of every race I did so that is a positive.
