What a recovery!

I can't believe how well I've pulled up after Sunday.

No real soreness, pretty tired through Monday and Tuesday after minimal sleep over the weekend but otherwise excellent.

It's put me in a very good frame of mind toward the 50 mile event in May and given me much confidence due mainly to the way I managed myself through this event. Aside of one spell (back up to Glasshouse lookout) where I was feeling it a bit it was all pretty steady. I knew I couldn't expect any miracles due to the lack of training and I managed to maintain a little discipline for the first half and it kept me in good stead to get home.

I've looked back at the whole run and picked plenty of places where I could have picked up considerable amounts of time but that wasn't the plan.

I went out for a run this evening with the dog (about 8.5km), nice and easy, all pretty good.

As I mentioned in the race report in my last entry, it feels like I'm actually turning a corner. I'm sure there's a bloody great hill to climb when I get around it (in the shape of the Glasshouse 50mile in May and the 100mile in September!), but I'm enjoying it all.
