Just finished my night leg in rain

It is pouring rain and lots of thunder and lightning! Big big rain and a strong wind out of the southwest. We are now heading west to the St Clair river south of Sarnia, just north of Chatham.

The lightning is pretty close and lights up the whole sky and the landscape. The thunder fills the land and the van rumbles.
During my 10k run had stomach cramps just like this morning, except it was from my dinner that was still with me. It was a little bit of a hard run. I think I should incorporate a little speed training into my plan so my body is used to the fast but long runs of 5 to 10 k.
Christoph, a work colleague too, has taken over for the next leg. Lots of fun now as we huddle in the van and peer out the back window trying to see our runner. He just ran up to us and had to stop in front of the van to tie his blasted shoelaces.
Lightning just lit the sky and siloetted another team's runner as he passes our parked van.
After Christoph's leg our van is done for several hours.
Then time for a good rest.
