18. bramfelder winterlaufserie 3

7.5° celsius. cloudy and very windy (stormy). 09:30 (1:14:14)

i hate the damn weather! when i woke up this morning, looking out the window, i saw the trees being swayed left and right from the strong wind. well, according to the weather report, the windspeed was about 80 - 100 km/h. it has been going on like this for a few days (that's why i haven't been running for sometime now). to make the matter worse, it drizzled.

i forced myself to get up and get ready for the run today. got in the car and drove to the starting area. the rain has stopped and the wind wasn't that strong like two hours ago. we were lucky. i wasn't really in the mood to run today (for various reasons - no training, bad weather, not enough sleep (3 hours only), wet and muddy grounds, etc). as the race started, i ran quite slow in the beginning, trying not to step in the pool of water. too late, a "traffic jam" forced me to swerve and my foot landed in the water. damn - it wasn't even 200 m from the start!

i ran quite okay for the first two rounds in about 45 mins. then everything went wrong. i felt like vomitting on the way and slowed down. then i felt really tight in my right thigh. i slowed down. the wind had picked up again and worse it was always headwind (although the last two round wasn't that strong). i slowed down. and even walked. i gave up. i relaxly jogged to the end and decided not to pick up any speed anymore. i'm done for today.
