Another beautiful day out on the river - except for the hour or so where I stumbled along overheating. Finally subbed out after 9 or 10 kilometres. It was brutal and felt so good to stop. A bit of a motivator to be better prepared for next year. We medalled despite my performance. It helps to the be the only masters' team.
This pic does not do justice to the heat. My usual running time is in the early am when the temperature might crest 4 degrees celsius. It was about 25 degrees, still, and humid out there. Every step was agony, my legs felt like lead, and I never, not for one moment, felt like I was in any kind of groove. Why do we do this?
Mostly because the day on the river, the scenery, the friends, the fun. The post-race beer is a great motivator for many.
