20 miles around GP and it was an 'on again, off again' battle the whole way. At times I felt great, other times not so much. I ran a 9 mile warm up with a bathroom stop in the middle (Schroeder Park). I ran west of town on Leonard and Applegate Rd which eventually looped back to Redwood Highway. That was 9 miles exactly so I stopped, used the bathroom and began an 11 mile tempo portion. It was good at times (first couple miles was a piece of cake) but then I'd have a flair up here and there (hamstring, achilies, arch pain, etc). Seriously considered stopping after mile 3 of the tempo but the pain went away and I managed ok... Back into town past Schroeder Park again, past the fairgrounds and Riverside Park before returning home around the hospital. The first 10 miles were solid (59:30) but then I hit the wall on the 11th mile. Thankfully I was close to home and jogged in the last 800 meters or so. Lack of water (as in none) was the culprit. And it was pushing 70 degrees from the start so plenty warm for the NW. I tried a new Gu at mile 9 (peanut butter)--taste was very good but not the easiest to take without water. |
