Sunday June 6, 2010 (Trail Race 15km)
The rain gods were smiling on Sydney runners again this morning and provided another sparkling winter day, perfect for running if a little wet underfoot in parts. I was familiar with the course especially the second half as I thought it followed much of the Trailwalker course. Summary of my efforts today - went out too hard and gradually slowed. Particularly on the second half where the course deviated from my expectations. Struggled mentally to keep going, felt weak and just lacked energy for no apparent reason. The course rejoined familiar terrain for the last 2-3km and I recovered a little finishing this section relatively strongly - total time 1hr 37min. I accepted an offer of a lift to the start - relieved I did not have to run back to the car. On reflection I wondered if being awake for a few hours in the middle of the night to watch the women's final of the French Open was responsible for feeling so weak?
