With the big help of Tom and some of the running gang I was able to get my downhill and a long run in today. Tom took us up to Payson Lakes nice and early and let us out with the beautiful full moon shining down on us to light the way down for us. We saw lots of deer and a few lovely cows but luckily no bears! Tom took the van down to Beer Can Flats and ran up to meet us and then down to the van. He had water and Gatorade for us there and then drove further and ran to meet us again. He continued to do this for my whole run. He was a fabulous pit crew of one! During mile 17 I started feeling a bit too much pressure on my right ITB area and decided to call it at 18. I was planning on 20 but felt it right to call it quits there. Luckily I had my pit crew guy right around the corner to take me home. Big thanks today to Tom, JaNae, Doug, Dan, Hal and Stephen! |
