This new course was harder! More hills.<br /><br />Even though this past race didn't go as planned, I'm already looking forward to my next ultra--Nov 9 in Pekin, IL (McNotAgain 30 miler).<br /><br />Hope your hamstring behaves.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-40429821610338833552013-10-14T11:56:36.605-05:002013-10-14T11:56:36.605-05:00I'm impressed they were able to throw together...I'm impressed they were able to throw together a new course on such short notice. It sounds like you had 2/3 of a good race - I bet those last 10 miles felt longer than any of your 20 mile training runs! But you hung in and didn't cave to the temptation to drop. Kudos.<br /><br />I managed to have a satisfying first 80% of a race this weekend (33 miler), but was dogged by a hamstring cramp for the last 7 miles. That one muscle has been my nemesis for years. Perhaps this is the year I actually start stretching. Nahh... I don't know if I could put up with all the "I told you so" comments from my wife :)<br /><br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672837522390042935noreply@blogger.com
