Peak weak long #2: 16 miler

RUN: 16 miles in 2hr 36 mins. 9:45m/m

Unlike yesterday, I got a very early start (445a) and had running partners for the whole trip. World of difference.

This run was entirely in FoPa. I went to bed and woke up with a tight lower back, but during the run and now afterwards it's OK. I thought for sure I would drag on the run, but surprisingly was able to keep up and stay awake. So far, no pain and just some tightness. I'm more awake this afternoon than I was yesterday.

My only nutrition was Infinit. Can you believe I'm out of gels?!?!? WTH???? How does a triathlete run out of gels? The Infinit worked great, but my stomach was screaming for food in the last 4 miles. I was dreaming of bananas and raving about eating one on Sknkr Hill. Then to my surprise--a banana was waiting for me at the truck!?!? Leprechauns?! ;)
