torture tbh
so it was hot and humid, and I was running in a sweater because I know I need to get used to the heat, and man I was toasty. And I could barely lift my legs because of the core I did yesterday. Whoops.
The hills were killing me and I didn't really enjoy the course... I felt like there was too many long legs (we had 3 very long legs and another 3 kinda long legs so yeah) and the course was just forcing us to run up and down reentrants constantly... might as well have done another hill workout. And the route choices I took (around 3, 4, 5) which to me seemed like the least hilly options had me running back and forth on the same route. I feel like there was never really any downhill, somehow it was all uphill. And that finish was brutal, running on a trail across a field...
I don't think I made any actual mistakes, I just went a bit around for some controls because I wanted to avoid the mind-numbing and leg-killing up and down of crossing several deep reentrants. I did take a maybe 5 min rest on my way to 6 because I sat down on a log while crossing it and was looking ahead at the course to see what other pain I had ahead of me, and then I saw Lucka so we complained to eachother a little bit and I helped redirect her to her control because she made a parallel mistake. So I had a bit of a break. To me the course seemed on the easier navigationally, just was made difficult by how physical it was. It could be just because of the park, but I feel like I've had much more enjoyable courses here before.
