Today we headed in towards Brisbane for the Qld State Champs. It was raining and rather miserable. The way my body was feeling I knew it was going to be a hard race for me. I had done a speed session on Friday and then gone to dance for an hour. All day Saturday my glutes were aching...they had been well worked - as I am a 2 day DOMS girl, I knew it was going to be a painful race.
Sure enough, when I tried to warm up I could barley stretch out and walk. Even the judges all commented that in the first km I looked terrible, very still and sore. I started to come right about 5km but by then my glutes were totally fatigued and it was just a matter of hanging on to the finish. My only goal for today was a sub 60min. I managed that JUST.
Finishing in 59:15 - the course is a punishing one and not for fast times with two rises in the middle as it comes up and over the cycledrome.
Side note: I was told I should have received a new number with laurals up the sides as I had won this race last year and also won the 20km. When I asked about it they realised that there had been an error and so I will be recieving my State Champs new race number with laurals up the sides.....cant wait for that.
