I guess my quads took a bit of a hammering on the downhills. In training I usually run downhills quite carefully as I'm a bit scared of stressing my ITB, so maybe I should try a bit harder in future so my muscles are better prepared.

It is also really nice to look back on your photos later and remember the event, so you know
While I was waiting in the portaloo queue on Saturday, I was approached by the lady behind me who was interested in my hydration pack. I had fun showing her all the pockets and things and how it didn't jiggle or chafe - I hope I didn't sound like a sales rep! Anyway it got me inspired so watch out for a review of it soon!
What is the longest time you've had Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness for?
Do you make friends in the portaloo queue too?!
Those are really great photos! I had a lot of lingering pain after running the St. George Marathon last month. Those lines are great places to have a conversation - sometimes you wait a long time in them!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt you were sore for a while- some of those hills look intense! I love the photos; that first one is so happy!
ReplyDeleteIn junior high I'd go with my school to a destination 12km race. I remember being sore for days after a couple of those and having to hold on tightly to a bar or counter to sit on the toilet!
Haha, never made portalook friends :) You look amazing in the pics! DOMS is the worst!! I once got it real bad after doing a whole bunch of pull ups and couldn't straighten my arms properly for about 4-5 days!
ReplyDeleteThose are AMAZING race photos! And $10 for the whole lot is a steal. I'm still bummed out that the race pics from my marathon are so expensive. There were some really good ones (and some really bad ones!), and I would have liked to have them for myself and for the blog.
ReplyDeleteWay to rock those downhills. You look fierce!
