tjommies3 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Sorry to hear, tjommies... take it easy and recover well. And know you're not alone. Also must've done something weird on my run Saturday. Sat afternoon started feeling stiffness in my one foot, but no worries, just a little tweakish feeling. Sunday morning was rainy and the foot was a bit worse, but towards evening it was quite manageable - walked quite a bit to try and get it working.Went for a run this morning and about a k in, it started giving notice. And by now it's is bleating like a wounded sheep, with this morning's pills having worn off. I'll definitely lay off running for a couple of days before the weekend's trailrun. Thanks SeaBee Sorry to hear about your injury. All the best with your recovery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted September 3, 2018 Share Eish Tjommies... sorry about your run, your prep seemed so on point. Hopefully just a bad day at the office, we've all had them and you learn a little from each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBee Posted September 3, 2018 Share Agree with Andrew - we learn more from our bad runs than our good runs! Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted September 3, 2018 Share Well, this was disappointing due to injury. Another DNF to encourage an early retirement. I had an excellent start, I was going faster than expected but not pushing too hard. The indicator was that the little group I was running in had heavy breathers and I was relaxed at a 4'30" pace. In comparison to last year, my splits were way better, but I was slowing down. My hip flexors were giving me issues and I couldn't swing my legs, and had to resort to a shuffle which wasn't helping much. I then walked a km to the next water station and asked them to alert the sweep vehicle :-( Covered about 29km, a very sad day at the office for me. Inside of my right Achilles is feeling it, quads are shot, lower back is in pain too but no ITB issues.Sorry to hear that. How different was that pace to what your are used to. 4:30 is around a 3:15 marathon which is quite significant difference to what were talking about earlier. Not implying anything.. Just an observation. Running is humbling and there's always the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 3, 2018 Share Something definitely off there...I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there. Could it be a 21.1 runner that only did the 10km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 3, 2018 Share Considering the world record is 58.23... Yesshows how much I know. But for the IM70.3 WC to run 1:06 after a bike ride and swim is something else. Andrew Steer, Stretch and Chris_ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
