Trail Running race (Creemore ) 6:03:00 [4]
Went in today feeling ready did not anticipate outcome
I knew heat would be an issue but did not think it would affect me as I am usually good in heat
Started with Dee and she pulled away quite early in race
Came through first 25 at 2:38 and found out Dee was approx 8 mins in front of me continued on and at the 30 km mark experienced some brutal cramping which I have never experienced ( I am still cramping as I write this at home ...I always felt bad for the guys in the ar races when they would cramp and today I fully understand what cramping is all about
It was an effort to put one foot in front of another and I knew that I needed more salt or something or I was not going to get to the finish for a loooooonng time
Saw my family with 3 km to go which lifted my spirits hit the last down hill then was a hobble cramp fest to the finish line where I got an intense rub down from a cutie paramedic
Denise did excellent 2nd female I was 5th Sean smoked it in 4:25 WOW!! and the best reward was laying in the river with my family and friends
Not a great race day for me but got some good training and can't wait for alps!'
