| Ok, so I cheated. This was really 7.5 on the bike. But since there were a whole lot of uphills, and the derailleur doesn't work right, it was about as hard as a run. |

| Pushed a ~10K hard at MAFC this afternoon, despite about 45 minutes of sleep total. Ran the first 27 laps in low-8 pace, just about MP, ran everything else sub 9. Good trial run for pacing Rose at 2:00 pace in Bentonville. Now if I can just get some sleep... |

This was supposed to be a race report. I lined up, and I started, but I neither raced nor finished. The left leg went numb in the first four miles, and I bailed. Didn't want to run 9 miles on a dead leg and possibly do more damage. Plus I was at the southern end of the race course, closest to my hotel. I had my phone with me, and called Jen to come pick me up. But by the time she found me, I'd jogged another two miles in the general direction of the hotel.
Run wasn't going well even before the numbness. I'd planned to pace Rose at sub-9 speed. Never found her before the start (she didn't have her phone), so decided to drop back in the pack, run a little faster than that pace and hope to catch her eventually. Dunno if that would have worked. For three miles, that 8:45 pace felt OK. But it was warm (it would get to almost 90 degrees), sunny and humid, and I was starting to feel the heat even before the leg went. The quads felt a little weak along with the numbness, which was concerning and definitely contributed to my decision to bail. I didn't want to hurt my knee or something because the quads wouldn't adequately support it. |
