ahr:178 max:192
Djouce IMRA race.
Summer evenings are great! The legs felt a little heavy from the weekend, but clearly a few weeks of training are having an effect. Managed to run/jog all the way to the top, with stunning views across the mountains for the last km of climb, hazy sunshine, a thin line of fog below Kippure, and Sugarloaf and sea out the other eye. Then the fun began. It's a proper fun descent. I still need a bit of practice, but still overtook a bunch of people, gaining whenever I took the brakes off. There was just one guy on the forest road at the end whose heels I reached, but he had been saving fuel for the final few hundred metres.
Did a good job of keeping the HR around 180.
Close to cramping afterwards, but a nice jog afterwards loosened the legs.
