Can't believe how sore I am as a result of the race on Saturday. I feel about as bad as I did after St. George a couple weeks ago. Quads, calves, ankles, back, and stomach all feel horrible. Going down stairs is not very fun and the worst is right when I wake up in the morning.

I really feel like I could have run the race in around 1:20 to 1:21ish on a normal day (I know it's easy to say this after the fact), and I think that is why I was so frustrated with how things went.

PM 1 hour on the elliptical while reading Us Weekly (It makes the time go by a lot faster so don't laugh too much).

Same here, i think I feel worse than after SG. Or maybe it just bringing it all back to the surface with some extra added on.

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering. Can't believe how bad I feel.

I now, I felt this bad after Bryce Canyon half. It had the extreme downhill. I think I have decided I really don't like steep downhill, esp. when it comes at the beginning of the course. It makes you legs dead for the rest of the race. I remember feeling that way durning BC half and Provo river.

I know exactly how you both feel. I feel like an 80 year old gimp, no joke! I feel absolutely terrible. I think the last time I felt this way was after the Des News Marathon 3 years ago.
