We had trouble getting out fo the hotel due to a lazy and late teammate. GOt to the eagle island state park on a cool and cloudy (rain clouds) morning. My wrist is still hurting really bad even after I took 2 ibuprofens. I saw my family and started to get warmed up...mna my wrist hurts.
The gun goes offf and I am immediately hit in my sore wrist and it explodes in pain. I nearly drop out of the race in the first mile it hurt so bad. Albert, Matthew and Matthew take off. I get in front of Funk but am not able to get back with Gyles. The course is fun but I am in so much pain I get out of my racing mode. I run a new PR but so does nearly everyone else. Really disappointed in this race as I was ready to go fast. We had the EMT's tape up my wrist after the race. Stick around to watch the other races but I am hurting and mad. My teammates run hard and well and I am happy for them but mad that my teammate messed around on the bus and caused me to have this injury right before a big race. Still pissed.
Need to refocus and get ready to run better at the meet in Twin Falls on Wednesday and get a better time.
