longer run today, ran both to mckay and back after the group hour. covered 21kms.
according to the garmin, i burned 2647 calories, (what the??) so i wont be relying on that feature much. but apparently my fastest speed during the run was 3:34min/km somewhere at one point. i cant think where. maybe around the white fence where i had a good battle with claire, or on the downhill.
did 1:15 then had a rest for a bit at 9:00am when everyone else stopped, then ran home. the last 3kms were hard, and in the last k i had to keep stopping after each 100m, i felt like i was going to faint; and i started craving sugar and water. i guess i mustve started running out of sugar, probably halped along by the race last night. so i guess thats what its like to start to hit the wall. i feel sorry for those marathoners who dont have the luxury of being able to walk a bit. but struggled with the extra running. when i got home i collapsed asleep (after eating and drinking ofcourse...) for a couple of hours. strange cos i did get 7 hours sleep. so im guessing the run took a lot of of me.
still im annoyed because i felt so strong, i was running along with the leaders all the time today, and feel like i could race anyone anywhere anytime. i had that confidence which comes with running well and being fit, but i cant seem to race well, like last night. i dont know what thats about, but i guess ill have to keep trying. anyway ill do some longer training and races while im away (i very much doubt ill find any track races...) so see how that goes, i think ill handle some road running a bit better.
