I can remember just getting started with the ultra races and feeling really bad when I would under-perform when friends and family came out to see me. I got over that. Sometimes the body just doesn't want to go. Better to save it and go hard when the day is right. I don't know about the 5 Fingers. I have some and I like to do some grassy cooldown jogging in them, but more power to you if you can pull it off. I hope I was able to psych your folks up to come out and see you for another race. You'll have your day in the sun. Train smart, rest more and you will shine.<br />Best,<br />JerStay Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227232986210817496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407161930425985930.post-29774252340548509982013-04-29T10:04:26.903-07:002013-04-29T10:04:26.903-07:00Hey Jeremy,
Very cool blog. I met you very brief...Hey Jeremy,<br /><br />Very cool blog. I met you very briefly after the Leona at the campground (after you were forced to flee from your noisy spot to get some sleep!). Just wanted to say a huge 'thanks'. I'm not one to wallow in disappointment (life is way too short for that) but I was baffled by why in the world I was severely cramping after only 4 miles and had to drop by 22 in my first ultra. Your explanation and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I WILL run another ultra and I WILL do it in the Five Fingers and I WILL finish. But, more importantly, I WILL have fun doing it. Cheers and good luck at the Western.<br /><br />Tony (Stone) Wasowicz<br />waz@sonic.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507177139618166467noreply@blogger.com
