Oh my goodness such a good run today I just have to share!
Final Psycho prep run - 2 loops. Fun group - Danny, Nick, Pat, Dave, Allen & Rachael. Beautiful beautiful day - I was down to one layer by the infamous Wyandotte Triangle, and was actually most comfortable shirtless the final 5mi.
Danny, Nate & I blasted through the first loop in something close to 1:40 (not counting time spent stopping for a couple regroups), which is 10min faster than I had ever done a loop before. Was feeling great! Stopped at the cars to reload, drank a can of Peach Nectar that I'd picked up as a tasty possible refueling drink - yumyumyum.
Headed back out at a bit slower pace, after the triangle, I was still feeling good, surged on ahead, struggled a bit on the backstretch but still was able to run up two of the Three Hills, finishing somewhere around 2:15 (my watch died yesterday). Celebrated with a delicious can of Campbell's tomato soup & raisin bread, got a good stretch in, and got to meet Brad #2 and Anna (?), Mud Doc's crew from last year who are running the 10mi Psycho this year. Mud Doc showed up too after a chase-the-rabbit circuit on us two-loopers (me, Danny, Pat & Dave), and we had a 'yay we made it' mini party in the parking lot.
Oh yeah! And I've been running with two right-handed gloves the last two weeks because I lost both of my lefties - guess who showed up on the archery field on the second loop today! Leftie! Karma++
Speaking of that, I pray we fortunate folks these past few days didn't use up all the good weather karma for WyCo. It's been sunny, 40s-60s, and the trail has been dry!!! +2 for those of you running the Psycho 5K tomorrow - I'll see you there. :)
In Summary:
-PR for WyCo course
-PB for distance, ever!
-Weather Karma++
-Return of prodigal glove+++
-Discovery of two new fantastic refueling foods: peach nectar & tomato soup in a sippy cup
Happy happy happy! :)
Have a great Saturday, and enjoy the weather!
