Despite the early hour of 4am… two PAX in the predawn gloom in search of a few hours of miles for Big Rig, and 24 for YHC. We got a few laps in on some Brandermill paths. Some false starts and pit stops with bathroom trips and forgotten water bottles. Unfortunately YHC started feeling lightheaded and really out of it about 9 miles in. Pushed through and got in about 12. Decided to call it quits there and live to fight another day. Big thanks to Big Rig for continuing to stay with this broken down PAX. Also a TCLAPS to him for going out for one more mile to make sure he got in a half marathon.
Lesson of the day was to take it easy during the week next time I have a long run planned for the weekend. That’s been difficult during ironPAX season. Thankfully that season is over just in time to taper.
