1:02:32 (31:32/31:00). Pretty even split. The "out" split included a little time on the ground and wound assessment - so actually it was a little faster than shown. I hit a gopher/ground squirrel hole that was obstructed by desert ivy or some such thing. It was right next to the curb so I flew through the air and slid on the street. Luckily, the car that was there had just gone past ... so I did not hit the car, nor did the car hit me (they did stop though, to make sure I was not hurt). Being the studly runner that I am, I just looked at my bloody knee and hand, flexed my wrist and went on my way. Worst thing was that as I was airborne all I could think of was, "save the shorts". Dean got me a very cool pair of shorts for my birthday from a company that specializes in womens running. They are a couple of women who were in his running group in Seattle - they are so cool - and they make me look (or maybe just feel) very fast ;-). I really did not want to tear my new shorts ... then, just before I hit the asphalt, all I could think of was, "oh no not my wrist" - I landed, yet again, on the wrist that I broke trail running in Salt Lake City a couple of years ago (not the arm that I hurt mountain biking here in Arizona). Still lucky, I get the glory of two bloody "war wounds" without any serious damage. My ankle is sore, but I don't think it twisted or anything, I think I just landed on it funny when it sunk into the hole. Happy Wednesday bloggers!! |
