| Monroe trail race supposed to be 10.5 mi, probably less. First half is mostly up (net gain 1800'), second half down on a different route.
A strange day. Within 5 minutes my left quad started hurting a little. It felt better climbing, and I felt good climbing, but on one short descent halfway up, the quad was complaining seriously. But then more climbing and it and I felt fine. Reached the top just behind Jeff Saeger, started zipping down to go by hime, and in the course of about 200 meters the leg went from a little sore, to very sore but I can live with this, to I can barely walk, let alone run. |

| Part 2: Really painful just standing there. And it's 50 and raining and, well, I'm not really happy about the prospects of getting off the mountain. A very awkward hoppity-hop, trying to keep moving enough to stay warm. On the flat places it would loosen up a bit and I could jog/shuffle, on the steep pitches it was all I could do to get down. |
| trail running 40:03 [2] 3.0 mi (13:21 / mi) | |

| Got to the next aid station, didn't feel like waiting for an hour for a ride, kept shuffling. A couple of nice uphills that I could relax on some and run pretty hard (and get warm), a few more good downs that froze it up again, and then a bunch of gentle flats for more shuffling.
A real bummer, seeing as how good I felt on the uphill. Hopefully it's not to be a recurring thing. |
