I run very differently now - I have a coach, I run with a power monitor from Stryd, and I went in to this race with a plan. What this meant, in effect, is that this is the first event where I was passing people on the downhills, and not many people were re-passing me. I stuck to the plan, felt good and nailed my predicated time.
Other than the run, we relaxed. We stayed in a very cute apartment: this is the only photo I took, because the bed was king sized and Leon and I are not big people and it was so much bigger than we needed. I did not take photos of the outdoor swing chair, the magpies that we heard singing each morning, the uncomfortably giant couch. Nope. Just the giant bed!
I didn't get as much knitting done as I expected - partly because I got the chart out of alignment at one point, and had to rip back. These things happen, and it was such a pleasure to breath the country air, read a good book, drink some local beer and just relax.
