Lisa's Forest Run
7 AM
Trail Running race (Lisa's Forest Run) 3:37:52 [3] 34.0 km (6:24 / km) +295m 6:08 / km
(sick) shoes: Asics Gel Trail Sensor 5
Easy terrain on an undulating route in the Lakenvlei forests. Started the race with the cold I've had for the last 2 weeks not being completely recovered yet. Decided to take it easy and see how it would go. Ran with Jono for most of the first 24km, in the top 10 running at about 5:30 - 6:00 /km. There was a group of 4 fast runners up front at about a 4:00 - 4:30 pace... impressive.
My cold symptoms got worse and worse - by the time we hit a little hill at the 24km mark I had to take my first walk with a feverish head and aching chest. I let Jono go (he ended up placing 3rd on the 60km course!) and didn't do much running from then onwards. Decided to cut it short and run the 35km course instead, coming home in 3rd place in that rather small field (32 finishers)
Legs also more sore than they should have been at this distance with 3 weeks to 2 Oceans! 2 weeks off will do that I suppose... Need to get better and get the training back on track!
Splits:
10km - 57m
20km - 1h55m
32.4km - 3h25m
My total time exludes the ~ 10 mins I spent at the 32km feed station before being told I had to run/walk the remaining 1.5km to the lodge to officially finish the 35km route.
