HDSRL Richmond 2011

Just a little update on last nights race. No beating around the bush, I found that really hard. As I said yesterday I felt tired all day, the fact that the weather had become suddenly hot again and I'm rubbish in heat. All I wanted to do yesterday was sleep. Anyway the race. It left the athletics track and turned UP to wards the ranges where it continued UP on a track. There were a couple of steep DOWNS but we were still working our way UP. Eventually we hit the road and the course leveled out for a bit. At about 3 1/2 miles it turned DOWN towards Scorton a DOWN it went. I had struggled up the hills passed people walking. I could have walked but refused. Now we were going DOWN I was being passed by the ones who had walked. ANNOYING. Some people were walking on the flats too, I could have walked, I wanted to walk but I didn't but I couldn't catch the Walkers and eventually they beat me, but I ran it I ran it all . 1 ran a tough 6.48 mile race in the warm with no water stops in 64:34. Ok so its not fast but I have done alot of training for the tri this week and in the last 10 days I have raced 4 times, 1 marathon and 3 10kms and I have another 10 km race on Saturday.
