O - competition race 3:04:03 [3] 11.78 km (15:37 / km) +272m 14:00 / km
Skipped the late night segment, as I only had 2-1/4 hours available and it was raining hard. Got up after a fair sleep in the tent, had some food and headed out for a final 4 hour run in the rain. Over to the E this time. Couple easy controls, and then two with long bushwacks. Had to work around vegetation and marshes to get to both, but connected okay. Nothing else was within reach and ended up coming in about an hour early.
Won ultravets and maybe 5th overall.
Treated this more as a test than a race, wanted to see how my hip felt. Okay on that score, took some ibuprofen and never had a problem. Did a lot of running on the dirt roads. Very little walking, just on steeper hills. Pace was slow. Conclusion is the hip joint is okay and the problem has got to be in the glute max. Been rolling that area with a tennis ball with good results.
