Race: Handcart half (1:55 RYR PACER) (13.1 Miles) 01:53:10
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
13.110.0013.11

Paced handcart half for 1:55 with Kelton.  First gig in several years.  Kelton wanted to bank time first few miles and well I like to go faster at end with slower warm up miles.  Pace felt good however faster but at mile 7 hamstring zapped me  like Boston though on right instead of left. Been feeling this coming on though no speed work to bring this on.  Maybe fueling ?  Dehydrated joints and tendons.  Had a very busy two days at work Wednesday and Thursday and I don't remember drinking any water at work.  Heart felt great. No wall or fatigue there just the right hamstring that actually caused me to slow and get my pace gig under by 1 min 50 seconds (would have slowed more but the time on clock said 1:54:08 when i crossed which is within a min as allowed.  I was weirded out ti see differently on my watch.  Well for six miles I ran with Corinne I later found out a nurse at huntsman.   She was a trooper.  We talked and talked when my hamstring pain hit she kept sane pace and finished in 1:51!! Her second half.  I would not have been able to stay with her because I was 1:55.  So hamstring made it happen so to speak.  It was and is today writing this on Sunday quite painful.  Iced in Af river.  Then top golf.  Then card games after lunch while amber at work.  Then to movie at aqauarium outside with Troys side all therr exceot Porter and Eli.

well walked first 1.5 miles but then got dangerous and tried to run 30 secs here and there then total jogging then at 5.25 miles it said nope! ouch  snap pain so eased up until finish gingerly.  very doable before that not pain free but not enough to have to walk.  but now i have to.  two bruises noted on back of hamstring above knee.  pooling of the tear that is higher up.  1:02:29.    13:28  pretty quick all walking mile!  10:46, half walkng half slogging.   9:37,  9:06, 8:42, 9:26,  9:14 only running on left leg and right for balance off of left.  

walked very slow with brooke virtual.  926 am.  so hot.  no clouds.  1.96 miles. 24 min (stopped to talk to darren for like 5 min).  guestimate taking 5 min off watch.    hammy very upset so walked very slow while talking to Brooke.
