Note: this post was made four days late because I forgot. Oops! As such it is light on details.
It was 26ºC for the run, higher than I like and on top of that it was pretty muggy, which made for a sluggish run. It seemed like every part of the trail where the sun shone down directly also had no wind at all, resulting in that icky feeling of ‘swimming’ through the air.
Despite the weather I still managed a pace of 4:55/km, not bad considering and a bit better than runs under similar conditions.
Other than the heat I had my fourth (!) encounter with a snake. This time it was an itty bitty one, which made it even harder to spot. My foot nearly came down on it as it slithered across the trail and into the grass. For having no legs snakes can really boogie. It was probably trying to get out of the sun, just like me.
