Notes
Took about 10k to begin feeling any good. Felt tired, sore and slow for a while at the start and the first 10k seemed to take forever. Sweet weather though, no clouds, warm sun, this is the shit!
This course is amazing, one solid hill at 5k and then coming back it's a test at about 25k. Long, smooth straughts out in some beautiful countryside with awesome views of the whole Taisetsu's.
The biggest downside is passing the power station, that area is buzzing with the radiation emits and it gives me goose bumps.
Even though I felt slow for what seemed like along time, found a comfy rhythm and just kept on goin'. Things sure feel a whole lot different from the long runs last year. Last year's 30k long in August was a painful 3hr+ slog in a crazy torrential downpour. Today just seems leaps and bounds from that muggy lonely morning.
Just out and back splits again, check the stats;
0k ~ 15k (1hr 19min)
15k ~ 30k (1hr 17min)
One long more huge one next week. Now I got a weekend of gettin' wasted ahead of me!
