Conclusion of this block in Iceland.
Monday: 5 Miles- Charlestown, RI
Burlingame South loop. Picked up like 30 deerflies on the bog bridges, and unpleasantly they didn't drop off on the campground roads, but instead got really aggressive and I got bitten a few times. Was running like 6:30 for that part uncomfortably, finally they dropped off on a windy section and I could relax.
Tuesday: 7 Miles- Charlestown, RI
East West beach loop with Dad in hot, humid weather.
Wednesday: 6 Miles- Westerly, RI
Fun Run #7. Went a lot easier this week, trying to run like 5:50-6:00. Started out in that range, ended up picking it a little as I went on anyways. Surprisingly still got 2nd to Jared. I ate too close to this and the stomach discomfort was present.
Thursday: 6 Miles- Westerly, RI
Road trail mixer with some champlin trails and the short trail behind Rotary Park. Got swarmed by deerflies on that brief Rotary Park, fortunately unlike Monday they dropped off immediately on the roads.
Friday: 4 Miles- Harnarfjordur, Iceland
Pre-race with strides, another road trail mix. The bike path infastructure in greater Reykjavik is so good, just seemingly endless paths to make so many loop options. But it's still such a small city that the paths are rarely crowded. Did a few miles on nice gravel paths into some harder/more technical trails that were a bit overgrown and back on bike paths.
Saturday: 34 Miles- Landmannalaugur, Iceland
Laugavegur 55K, wrapping up the June block. I'll combine the next two weekly logs since I only ran once next week.
Sunday: 0 Miles
Short waterfall hike to wrap up Iceland.
Weekly Total: 62 Miles
Weekly Highlight: Laugavegur, what a great course and nice to wrap up this block with a strong performance.
Weekly Lowlight: No real issues this week, as it should be in a taper week, so I'd say the deerflies were the biggest annoyance.
