USATF - Utah xc championships
I decided to run this race because if Jason Holt would have run this race and won it he could have passed me in the circuit standings. If he would have won I needed to take 7th or better to stay in 1st place. Turns out Jason had much bigger fish to fry and was racing in Indianapolis that morning.
I have been cross training for the last month (eliptical, bike, and walking) and hadn't really tested my calf before this run so I warmed up very little and didn't push it hard at all during the race. There wasn't a great turnout so I ended in 3rd with an 18:12 (after one wrong turn cost the first 3 of us about 20-30 seconds). Calf felt good through the race, but started to hurt on the cool down afterwards and hurt for several days later.
