I had a different approach to the race, just he wanted to run it.
We left earlier than was needed, not to have any problems with parking the car. Definitely was felt, it's a normal day of the week, not a free Sunday, movement was considerable. We received meat packages, every year arouse debate unhealthy vegetarians. I'm glad there's an insert Tarczyński – You do not eat meat, it does not moans, you want “instead” package fruit, give a meat colleague and after crying!
Grzaliśmy in the hall, I had zero energy levels and almost fell asleep. Exit to warm up a little woke me up, enough to realize, that in front of me on the run 10 km.
This year was supposed to be harder, certificated route, slightly modified so that there was no doubt as to the course and distance two loops and consequently two podbiegi.
I stood a little further forward, than to point my disposition speed, but I wanted to avoid pushing on the first km. Traditionally, and so I had to overtake stragglers, although progress has been compared to last year, I did not have to steer clear of runner, who wanted to stand or walk after running 300m.

Added two loops, which effectively slowed down and hindered the running. I even ran nicely and finally I had no problems with thermoregulation, I dressed appropriately. Two kilometers before the finish line and slowed down hill overcame a leisurely pace without a fight and forcing. Before the summit ahead of me a couple. He came out from the skin rooting for his woman, I laughed to myself hearing his cries: give more 100 m, SHE (it was me) unabated, is, give! He turned and controlling how far am. And I myself ran, without stress. From the hill or not “I let the legs”, I came to your comfortable pace. With a pair of cross-country battle to the finish line ahead of me you got 7 second lead, generally congratulations.
Na mecie dostaliśmy medal, fortunately, still in the package, though the new fashion is spreading more and more, and who knows how will 2019 years. I had to listen to comments runners, that this time ran poorly, that the hill is not advice I gave, that this year it overtook me, beat, It was faster, etc.. Well, I can not say I felt a little sorry, because if I always have to rush, give 100% and fight. Can not I have a run of so?
We ate a hot meal, this time was “thin soup”, deposit slowly picked up and returned home with a reconciliation, that next year New Year's Eve will run no longer.
