I wasn't there for the sprint, but I doubt I would have been able to figure out where to go there. Looks really hard.
How about today? I hope you were ok. Didn't see you in the results, or see you in the parking lot after I came in. Hope you are not hurt.
Pulled the right hamstring just after 11 and couldn't run after that (sharp, shooting discomfort). Walked the short distance in, told the fellow at the finish I dnf'd (never occurred to me to record the 11 splits as I was distracted) - went to car, changed and left. Most displeased with the outcome, second year in the month of May I've had a hamstring pull. Will have to check the tarot deck.
I can figure out some from the 305 plus our being at 5, 7 & 8 about the same time etc..."split archeology"....
Or, if I cared, I could send the e-punch to Sandy...:)?
Might learn something about how the system works.
Sorry to hear it. I thought perhaps your hamstring might have acted up, and I'm glad to know it was nothing worse. It was kind of weird and scary not to see you there, and not in the results, after just seeing you mid-course. My hamstring was not too bad today, although it's tender now and I iced it quite a bit when I got home. I am headed back to try again tomorrow. Did you go home?
Yes, sitting here at the desk, home-grown peepers for background music. Had not planned on Monday - the eternal get-stuff-done-at-home dilemma.
"Ice is nice and would suffice...."
And I am remiss!
Take care of those hamstrings guys! Last June, in my 69th year, I dropped 18" off a platform and landed at a strange angle; yanked my hamstring right out of my hipbone. The ortho said despite lots of running, the bones had been thinning for years. Running pace has been reduced from 10min miles to 14. But fortunately I can still hobble along...could have been worse. Keep that in mind the next time you're contemplating a leap off the top of a rock.
Bob, very funny comment of yours, comparing Tero's run to a Trail-O challenge. After looking at that map, I'm still chuckling.
I didn't look at the map but noted his interest in Trail-O; also was speaking with Sharon Crawford at the meet yesterday about Trail-O (at 3 WOC's for same) - she had many interesting things to say in its defense. I've never done it but but can see its utility in map reading, attention to terrain etc - provided maps are sufficiently accurate as Vladimir Gusiatnikov pointed put, part of same conversation. His living is "in precision measurement (my roughly reproducing of his comment) and thus he was justly critical of Trail-O w/o precise maps.
