Hi Janine! Thought you might like a race report from Hamilton!

The Around the Bay 30k was last weekend. I was pretty overtrained, I've been training for one half after another without a break for 15 months so I've actually slowed down instead of gotten faster, but I didn't want to give up trying the ATB after working so hard for it. So I downgraded my expectations a little and set a goal time for 3 hours, 30 minutes. I'm happy to say I did it in 3:29!

There is a wicked, wicked hill at the 26-27km mark, I made it up but it did me in. The last few kms were so hard! Pretty cool finishing in a colliseum though!

I'm taking a break for at least two months now. I'll run, but not fast and not long. Two months of recovery runs!
