Endure It! 10k relay (5x400 DNF)
Endure It 10k relay with HOKA Dave as my partner. Right calf has been f'd since I mistakenly took time off after 4 on the 4th and even tho it felt better this morning, running aggressive quarters in spikes wasnt setting myself up for success. Still ran fast before calling it quits but pain was increasing each lap and I didnt want to really do myself in with a serious strain or anything. Averaged 63-64's for the 5 quarters I ran and we were hovering in 4-5th place at the time, right behind 1st-3rd. I felt really bad calling it quits because Dave was running well and I had just asked him to be my partner last minute but in the grand scheme of things, it wasnt worth being sidelined for a while to try to maybe finish. Based on how the race played out with the heat/humidity, it was likely we would've been 2nd and close to 1st had I not had a calf issue because my hip/hammy surprisingly felt really good) but shit happens I guess. As I've been struggling to find consistency with running these past few weeks, I really need to do more of the little things to take care of my bod too. I can't expect to be at a high level and function like a well-oiled machine without the proper maintenance and fuel
