DNF a training run ??
This is what I did today...
During the week, I was able to gather some of the best runners in HK for a solid long run on this Saturday.
S.: a real rising star... Recent winner of Phuket International HM (1h13 in the Thailand heat ... Impressive)
E.: a accomplished Ironman with terrific running
K: top Master in HK and unvaluable resource for the running community
Being a solo runner 99.9% of the runs, I was pretty excited on the perspective of running in such a group...
Well, basically "my legs did not show up"
Maybe was due to the fast workout yesterday, coupled with a 6 hours drive during the day, maybe was the heat of the first real day of Summer (at 7am, 29C + 80%rh), but I struggled from the start, my HR was abnormally high, I was completely lacking energies and it was going worse and worse at every mile...
After 14km I simply bailed out and walked 2km back home....
Got headache until lunch...
Hopefully just a bad day
The boys went on and scored 27km as planned (I guess they lost 5lbs at least)
A runner from South China. The title of my blog comes from my habit to run very early in the morning and be back home by 7am. Running in China can be very challenging at times and requires a lot of determination, but is also a good way to make yourself at home here...
