Wanted to report some race results from yesterday. Ran my 2nd 21K in 1:25:40. a new PB, but a tough day. Arrived late for the race and really had to visit the washroom before the race started. unfortunately due tomy lateness and need for a pee I had no warm up other then the jog of about 500-600m to the start line. None the less the first 6-7 or so K felt good, the next mid part was thought, but it was also warm for this time of year about 22 Celsius. Some crusher dust trails and long drawn out hills at the end made for a slower pace, but I maintained intensity.
I had a goal of being about 2 minutes faster then that, but I know based on the day and the intensity that's the time I deserved for this day.
21Ks seem to have a lot more to learn from them post race when I reflect on it compared to 10ks.
I'm not going to do another 21k until autumn because of heat. Will have 2-3 10ks over the next couple of months with a goal race being the beginning of august (a 6 miler). Going to assess training for the coming couple of months this week.
I'm pretty sore today so didn't run, will get out for 30 min tomorrow slow and easy and hit a 60 min easy on Wednesday.
cheers
