Trail Running race (Crazy Store Magalies) 4:34:03 [3] 34.7 km (7:54 / km)
shoes: Salomon 3D S-Lab Red/Yel #3
Ran this race last year, in which I just dipped up 4 hours after blowing up on the last 5km.
This year was worse. I paced myself more up the Hospitaal Pad climb and across the top of the Magaliesberg, as I know I am in significantly worse shape than last year. Stijn and Brian both passed me early on, but I kept Brian in sight for a while.
Still felt decent on the first descent off the mountain and managed to fill up with water. Day looked like it was mild, but the cool wind disguised the fact that it was 27'C. Straight from winter to summer in 1 day! My body started feeling off just before the Greek Church but I only really ran out of gas at the bottom of the hill at 5km to go (again). Walked the entire last section and was really nauseas until 500m to go when I finnaly threw up... Think the heat got to me.
Final time was about 40 mins worse than previous run. Was expecting to run better, but it didn't happen. :-(
