Sulphur Springs 2010 after thoughts

Just a couple of things that I didn't put in my report.

1. A woman past me about 3km into the 2nd loop, and as she went by said "I hope you don't mind me saying you have the most beautiful legs" - Just confirms what Kim has told me all these years :)
2. The mud was tough for sure, but it was a tacky mud, not the shoe sucking variety I found. It ended up being easier to run through the centre in most sections rather than skirting about it. I do feel sorry for those people trying to run the course in road shoes. Watching them slip and slide was painful. The LaSportiva Crosslites gripped like a studded tire.
3. What were those blue flowers in the woods? They were gorgeous, as was some of the forest sections.
4. As I said in my report, the course was hilly. Not crazy long climbs, but over the 20km loop very little flat so a lot of constant elevation changing. On that note, my quads were trashed after. I know I was running the downs hard and felt it at the end. Note for next year Derrick, back to wall sits
5. 90% sure I will run the 100 mile there next year - Post race I am feeling pretty confident I can do it on that course, and makes for easy crewing for Kim.

Recovery is going well, energy is mostly back and runs are slowly coming back. Not pushing too much as there is no rush to. Loads of time till Wineglass still, and best to start that training 100%.

On a completely unrelated running note, we just bought a new/used car. A 2010 Toyota Yaris. Bought it for the great fuel efficiency and that it is an automatic so much easier for the kids to drive. We get it Saturday - Her name is BlueBerry.
