Hi TheEd,
Had the Grootvadersbosch trail race yesterday morning, or as the organisers put it...this year its not a race but rather an adventure.
We had lots of rain the past week and the Grootvadersbosch conservancy area even more so. (The organisers forgot to tell us to bring boats
The 14k route was changed twice during the week, and eventually they decided that the 15.5k route was the safest. Slightly longer than usual but with lower elevation (600m vs 820m). I found the 15.5k route easier than the 14k route.
We spend a lot of time wading through ankle deep mud and knee deep water. According to Garmin I walked for 27min and ran for 1:27:11.
Although not ideal, it was an awesome wet morning in the outdoors.
HR-149, Pace – 7:35/km, Time – 1:55:18, Dist – 15,22km
Z2-14:42, Z3-39:21, Z4-40:15, Z5-16:21
Calves a bit tender this morning and lower back a bit stiff..., otherwise the body feels okay.
Apologies for the long post.
Phil
