Tra� ne Savates race 2017
Yes, it is the first running race of the season. We are doing this relatively easy 10Km competition at Cheseaux sur Lausanne.
A race shared is always welcomed so we have co-opted our friend Marianna to help us.
We were there over an hour early
Marcus Race Report
I finished my Bronchitis antibiotics last night. I feel a lot better. I can actually breathe easily post meds. So the race started on time and I felt great!
Just before the off some random people next to me were chatting and I got the impression that the man was going to leave his female partner.
But 3Km into the race she was leading him and I thought a fine pace lady! But I slowly edged ahead of her until we met again at the 5Km water stop. I took it easy there and she caught me up.
I confessed that I was looking forward for her to being my unofficial pacemaker and we set off together. For the next 5Km I was trying hard to keep up and on the several hills she edged ahead, whilst on any down I caught up.
I finished the 10Km in 45 minutes. Not a bad effort if I say so!
So all is well, my Salomon race shoes, not worn for months, gave me a left foot blister. Surely with better shoes I could have run faster! You see, making runners excuses already on the first race of this season. That absolutely means I feel healthy again.
