This race fit with Rick's training plan to put in a good half marathon 6 weeks later, at Walnut Creek. My psoas gave me much grief during much of 2018, and I was only beginning to get some value out of some PT advise from Jeff Moreno and some other experiments. So, I wasn't wanting to do a 10 mile pavement race, settling for the 5 mile version. That was painful enough! But great to do a race in town and see so many familiar faces and friends.
Not sure what was the deal here - Ferrell needing a bush, behind the ambulence? |
