Volkslauf 2011 - Oct 8

The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf.

Perfect, perfect weather for the run. Post race 72 degrees. Running with Aron and Chacho, and working our way through the obstacles together. Took plenty of walking breaks during the run section, and coming into the ditch, felt my lower back tightening up. Guess I've not been running enough - but that's a blessing as my achilles tendons are fine post-race.
Just felt stronger and stronger through the water, and enjoyed the obstacles. Took them a bit leisurely - spending additional time to help other runners.

4.5 miles: 50.10
5 miles: 56.16
Into the ditch: 1.02.18 (10.39 to do it)
First obstacle: 1.12.58 (19.41 to do 'em)
End: 1.32.39

The 10k's still a run, after all. Helped everyone else over the traditional 8-foot wall, and a couple other people, only to look around and find myself alone. Up, pull and heelhook FTW... glad to see that it's still there.

7.5 + 1.5 hours, 2145-0545 /48 hours. 92 mins total, PE: 8. 213/13.
40/37/24%, 269C-174P. Beers at the Firehouse for UFC to recharge. 3519 cal.
