Sunday 12
Dirty South Trail Half Marathon
I was pretty much niggle free. I slept good which is rare for me. My warm up was short and sweet; LMLS, and a little jogging. Chatted with Sterling Hinton and Timothy Rutherford.We expected rain but the weather was great, just a little warm. It was weird to have these temperatures during a race in the middle of February.
I had a good fuel plan which I followed. Shot Blocs at miles 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10 and a Chia Gel at mile six. I began with no race strategy, but a strategy emerged around mile 5. I was afraid the hills were going to put me in a bad spot so I decided to walk them. The runner's who were running the hills gapped me at that point.
It seems everytime I’m feeling a little cocky or just feeling good about where I am in a trail race I trip, fall, or turn an ankle.
Finished 24th. Proud of my effort.
Thanks to Tn Sports Therapy for providing AT’s for stretching. Holly, who stretched me after Strawberry Plains really pulled hard on my hip flexors. A beautiful and strong young lady.
I was beat for the remainder of the day. My toe and elbow were the only truly sore parts
