the picture below says enough. mike broke his finger in a fall with 8 miles to go, i had back spasms at 9 miles then began experiencing pain i didn't know was possible the last half mile in my left hip. x-rays came up negative for major break/fracture. i got myself some drugs and cool walking cane so i should be set for tonight.
don't know what to think right now...if the race ended yesterday i'd have only positive thoughts but today was an experience i hope to never have again. disappointed that injury slowed me down so much this week and we couldn't show our real fitness.
mike smith is an incredible human being...thank-you mike.
thank-you to our flagstaff family and everyone else that gave us words of encouragement and kept us in their thoughts!
more to come...
