Early morning!!! Woke up at 3AM for this one. It's a popular summer destination and I didn't want to deal with sunblazers during the fkt. I don't typically run flat beach runs, but with this route being so close to my house, I figured I give it a go. 

After a warmup together Jamieson, started the route a few minutes before me. Even thought there are no obstacles on the beach, I couldn't see him running when I began my run 3 minutes later. Nor did I see him for the entire 10km. He's too quick! 

I'm not sure if it's because it was early in the morning, but I felt that I couldn't turn over my legs for the first few kilometers. Slowly but surely, I got into a rhythm. The beach running was as ideal as it gets with wet sand, and staying as close to the water as I could get. I even got my feet slightly wet a few times. 

All and all, I'm glad we went! 

Jamieson waited for me at the end, and we jogged back to the car together. ~23km day :)
