last minute decided to head up to diez vista 50km in mood, bc. not a great idea. even though i tried to take it easy all week just in case i could get in. i needed more time to let my hip heal. it didn't and i got my frist dnf. sux. but it was a "c" race and i made the decision my hip health was more important than finishing the race. oh well. i have to get this hip healed. massage and orthopedic are in my very near future.
because the odyssey rocks, my morton's didn't come back. but as justin had mentioned it wasn't the best shoe for the knarly trails. montrail highlander would have rocked. i came in waay too hot to the first crazy downhill. in the air with nowhere to put my foot i slip and fell hard barrel rolling down the steep slope. i managed to grab roots and stop myself but jammed my thumb hard and banged my elbow pretty bad.
