I am going to catch up this week. Really I
am. (Of course, I held off last week so I’d have stuff to post this
week.
Anyway, back on the 17th, I took on the Gladiator Rock n Run
for the second time this year. This time was at the Rose Bowl. Sadly,
they only had the 5K course this time, not the 10K option that I’ve done in the
past. Still, it was fun to be back since I skipped it last year for
that stupid Slime Run.
I did this with one of my friends from ultimate Frisbee,
Nate. This was his first mud run, and we both had fun. There
was the usual variety of obstacles, a little light on the mud since this is
mainly around the Rose Bowl on the streets of Pasadena. But there
was enough to give him a feel for getting muddy, and he’s talking about doing
one with me again in the future.
The thing that killed me on this was the stairs. We
start by running into the stadium and going up the down the stairs three
times. I was fine doing that. I could tell my legs were
shaky later, but I felt great all day on Saturday. Sunday, I woke up
and my legs were killing me. I played ultimate that afternoon hoping
to loosen them up, but it didn’t help. It was late Tuesday afternoon
before they started to feel significantly better. Just in time for a
run Tuesday night, in fact.
Before next year, I must start doing stairs as a
workout. I climb the stairs at work and at home, but never that many
at once, which was my problem.
