Well, I rested on Friday as per the plan. But this very rainy & stormy morning I dragged my tired self out of my warm bed and over to Rodeo Beach for the Pirates Cove 8k. I was so happy that I did not sign up for the 20k (some even did 30k and others 50k). And it was a rainy morning. It poured before start time but for the distance that I ran, it barely rained at all. It was sloppy but nothing like the last rainy trail race that I did. This was actually pretty fun and I felt strong doing it. I was in my car with the heat blasting trying to warm up and dry off after getting soaked while picking up my race number. And I was getting out of my car when I heard the race start. Oops. I wasn't very far and caught up to the field and then slowly started to pass people (not a whole lot of them, but enough to make me proud of my work). The course started at Rodeo Beach and went up Coastal then over to Wolf Ridge and down Miwok ending at the start. The stats are: 4.8 Miles in 55:05 at an average pace of 11:27. Super hilly for the first mile or two. Really fun run.
