Jim left me well cooked yesterday (https://www.strava.com/activities/15475420410).
Well cooked but alive.
I stuffed myself during the day. I wasn’t conscious of it yesterday but today I realised that’s what I was doing. Stuffing myself like a turkey.
(I might be getting my metaphor wrong as I believe you normally stuff the dish and then cook it, and I’m going I was first cooked and then stuffed but bare with me in this one. It is not the first time I get my metaphors wrong)
I don’t know if stuffed turkey is a dish JFW likes but he surely ate me, alive, today.
Look at the profile of the route. That’s a revenge profile. A profile that says I’m going to hit your legs in the first climb. I’ll go to your throat in the second one (I was coughing so heavily at the top that I had to make efforts to not throw up. Didn’t want to ruin JFW’s fest). I’ll eat you alive after the third one.
It was easy for him. The third climb was so steep I needed to use my hands to hold at branches to not fall. I was defenseless.
From that moment he just had the best time. Devouring every piece of me and my soul one kilometer at the time.
I knew I had one more hour of suffering.
That was because I listened and took note when he said we were going to run two hours.
But he was making the route as we were going. I sensed this was going to last a bit longer.
Especially when he asked how we were doing in time and I told him we had been running for 1 hour 40 minutes.
He changed direction immediately and suggested we had 40 more minutes to run.
It was a whole hour.
Enough time for him to finish his digestion.
Ps. I find it funny how it turns out I had my best 400m time of the season in this run. 1m 14s, one more proof that I’m a sprinter.
