Epic Failure
I started out in the Tourne on Saturday morning and ran the first five
loops pretty well. The hilly 13.5 miles went fairly smoothly and I felt
like I had a lot left in me.
Around mile 16, the hills started to take their toll and I noticed I was
slowing down. At about mile 18 my calves were on fire and "Killer Hill"
reclaimed its title.
I completed 21.6 miles and had only two loops left to reach the goal;
however, a quarter mile down the first hill was more than I could take.
At the bottom of the hill, mere feet from the first uphill, I stopped,
turned around, and walked back up to my car.
My right calf was still sore yesterday and is a little tight today.
With only 117 days until Philadelphia, I'm starting to get nervous.
