Event: 5 Peaks Trail Race- Hardwood Hills
 

5peaks Hardwood Hills. Overall, great race. Spent most of the day with another racer breathing down my neck. Kept trying to shake him with a strong pace and some speed on the downs, but he held tight until the last few k. Managed to pull away inthe last few kms.

I was really happy with how I felt out there. Still haven't really done any speed work this summer - jus some tempo work.

C • You're a lot faster 6

Thought this was pretty appropriate. Foreshadowing maybe?

C • Yikes! 7

Great lunch tempo run. I originally planned on this being short and sweet. But the day was perfect, and I felt strong so I just kept running up the DV.

From work down to QQ, along to DV, north to Pottery Rd, weaved around the trails up to Nesbitt, then back all around Brick Works, and finally to work weaving through the city streets.

Strong tempo up to Pottery Road. Hammered a few hills up there. Then an easier pace on the way back down. Felt great.

Decent night. Made some progress on climbs that beat me last week.

2k into work in the AM, 2k after work, and 12k at lunch with Bunk. Pretty much a perfect day for being outside.

Desperate times. But I helped it pass watching a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones.
