I decided to try running. I did an easy warm up jog and felt better than I've felt for a good week.
The running felt ok and I really enjoyed the course, terrain and map. I wish I'd paid more attention to the interesting architecture, but I guess I'd rather have a clean run and paying attention to the architecture probably wouldn't have helped.
At the finish I was drained. I was missing a top gear, but I pushed myself. At the finish I sat down for a bit. Then I got a drink (actually Mary got me a drink) and I sat some more. As I was sitting there, a fire/EMT came over and asked if I was ok. I guess I looked terrible. Mary described me as looking "droopy." And, I felt pretty bad, but not like I needed anything more than a bit of rest and an cup of sport drink.
I enjoyed the course. There was plenty of map reading. The map was solid. It was fun running in an open urban area (and traffic was so light on a Sunday morning that it was no trouble dealing with cars).
