Did the Mansfield race again this year. Raj and Patrick joined me for another crack at it. Great weather , fantastic course and good company summed up the day. We we slow by design! An hour in we had on covered 5K averaging a 12:00 pace... yes we were actually running albeit a little soo slow. The half way cutoff was at 13:00 , 5 hours after the race start. At the pace we were going we were in danger of getting pulled off course. Between 5 and 12 K we pulled some 8:00 Ks putting enough time in the bank. Our 25K time was around 4hrs23min. The guys were moving well the whole 50K , it was slow but steady so no death march. The second half was all about getting it done. We wrapped somewhere around 9 hours definitely my slowest 50K ever but it didn't matter. We hung out for an hour after the race having a cold beer and talking to Robin. On the way home we stopped at the "Burger Bus" on Airport Road that the Honeywood turn off...best burger I had in some time.
Wasnt up to muck last week logging 3K walks on my meal breaks Wednesday and Thursday last week.
