Total: 4 runs for 41 miles.
I really enjoy the week leading up to a big race. Scheduled runs are pretty short giving the body & mind the rest it needs while still keeping everything fresh. Unfortunately my eldest did something to her arm resulting in joint pain & numbness. This had us in & out of doctor offices throughout the week which led to a few missed runs.
On Friday, the day before the race, we were able to get her in to see a sports medicine specialist. Getting home around 2100 caused me to scrap the idea of camping the night before the race, I'm not a big fan of setting up camp in the dark & figured I'd get more sleep if I just got up early on Saturday. This worked out surprisingly well. The drive in allowed me to get fully woke up & a quick stop at the rest area allowed me to use a real toilet before the race. Something to consider for the future.
I'll leave the majority of details concerning race day to the race report. In summary I came in 12th place overall with a time of 6:29:41!
