Not sure why I’m posting this because I’m a little embarrassed about my result…
❌ Didn’t finish within the time frame I wanted
❌ Was one of the last people finishing
❌ Stacked it during the run
❌ Muscles cramping and multiple near miss ankle sprains
This was a spur of the moment event
I had minimal training prior to the event
I only signed up because my brother randomly asked me and I thought why not?
However,
✅ I completed my first ever trail run
✅ I completed my first ever running event and official half marathon
✅ This was done with minimal training almost exactly 18 months post Achilles rupture
✅ Achilles tendon didn’t snap
I’m still rehabbing my Achilles and trying to improve my strength and performance
Every time I feel something around my calves and ankles, I’m still worried about my Achilles snapping so I’m happy nothing happened today
If you want to improve and get better, you need to do things outside of your comfort zone and push the boundaries a little and that’s what I did today
But thanks to and for a great event.
Congratulations to all the winners on both days with this heat and humidity.
Sorry to my brother for slowing you down haha
