Woke up after having trouble sleeping around 4:50am & got myself out of bed. Made my way to Trotters for kev's caper run. I just ran slow & steady. Felt good though.
I then went & trained a client at 7:30am then straight after that I made my way down to Nowra for the state xcountry c'hips. 12k hilly & I mean HILLY course. It's 3 laps of a 4k loop with a bugger of a hill thrown in there. That means we have to run up that hill 3 times. But what goes up must come down & some very steep windy trails. Well first lap was done in 16min, second was 17:10 & the 3rd I fell apart. I was feeling pretty good & knew I could do that last lap in under 17min which would've been in the 49min & that would've beat my time from last yr of 50min. But with 1.5km to go when I was hammering down the hill my right quad felt like it was tearing of my bone!
I decided to walk the last 1.5k to the finish. I was going to finish no matter how I did it. Well I took over 30min to do that last lap & finished in 106th in 1:03:45ish. Well off that 49min. Anyway straight to the medic tent for some ice. Then drove home. Now here I am on the computer telling my story & still hopeful to do the bay to bay tomorrow but we will have to wait & see
