My second 5peaks race of the year…

I thought I would be ready because of my running at high altitudes during my trip. But we got back two days before the race and I felt really bad during the run. I could not seem to breathe. I seriously considered packing it in after the first 7 km lap but somehow I held on to come in DFL yet again. I was very discouraged by it. I tend to think I was very tired from the trip and also I think I must have been full of carbon monoxide from Yellowstone fumes or something. Anyway, this post is dated the day I ran the race, but I am writing it today on the 23rd of June. I think I am back in good form now and last Wednesday I ran the race again (alone) and did much better.

I am looking forward to the next race at Cooking Lake July 7th. My training will increase in intensity and direction. Wish me luck.
