Week 55/56 and Oktoberfest 10k summary

Week 55: 5032TSS on 7.04hr
Week 56: 220TSS on 2:57hr

Post toad week was the last of my 20-milers, then dived right into a mini-taper for my 10k, where I hoping to go sub-40.

Before: Me (back left), Ian (1754) and Sean (front)
The race went well, I dodged a ton of little kids at the front for the first 500m, then got into a good stride. I ran with Ian for most of the race, I got ahead of him going down the hill on Westmount, and along University, but just as I thought I had dropped him, I hear these footsteps. Anyways, he surges by and I couldn't stay with him up the hill on Seagram as we turned onto Albert. I keopt it strong down Albert, down Caroline, then up the small hill on Erb - which felt like a big hill- only to have four guys, none of whom were in my age group luckily, zoom by me in the last 200m.
During: Ian and I ran like this for most of the race

Anyways, total finishing time was 38:57, so mission accomplished. Sean says I should be thinking about running sub-37 now.


Last 200m. Ow.

 Also been thinking about what's to come in 2014.

  • TripleT
  • Syracuse 70.3 with a goal of qualifying for the 70.3WC (at Trembant this year)
  • Peterborough (maybe)
  • EndurRun (if no WC)
