Comments:

Training for last chance half in Nov but this one fit in the schedule so took a few extra days off and did a short run the day before. Felt better/faster than expected so kept at it. Felt good until the last few kms. 1 gel at 45 min point.


What would you do differently?:

Bring gatorade or something - course only provides water.

Post race
Warm down:

1 Free beer and a rice krispy bar then back in the car to drive home for lunch.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Middle of training plan


Event comments:

Good race in the mountains, will keep coming back every year if possible.

Performance: Good
Avg HR: 161
Course: Starts along a forest road then goes down into a golf course which is 2 laps then back up the big hill onto the main road. Not a fast course. Last 2 years it's been around 20km due to construction but they had us to an extra out/back at the end to get back to 22km.
