I am a little bit sore. hahahaha
Knees are sore, ankles are sore, muscles are fine but a little bit tender. While I enjoyed much of the training for JFK 50, it reminded me that I really like Tri Training. Missed my bike and the pool.
Perseverance:
I've never done a 140.6. I imagine this takes a mountain of mental equity to finish. This 50 mile run was really, really hard. About 13.5 miles on the Appalachian Trail. Not the easy smooth part, the really rocky and nasty part! 26+ miles along a tow path with net up hill and then a long 8 mile road with uphill, uphill and more uphill.
I learned that walk, run, crawl, as long as you are moving forward you don't have to quit. I had a great partner out there who helped with just enough encouragement and patience. Couldn't have done it without him beside me, and to be fair, I wouldn't have wanted to.
One foot in front of the other...rinse, wash, repeat!
I am going back into the hot tub!!! |
