Holcomb Valley -
Knee was 100% after run night before and no issue on start. Bummed that I rolled my ankle really bad in first ~2 miles. Took me out of the lead pack then walked and forced myself to try and run it off until the first aid at ~4mi. It was bad and same leg as knee that I started feeling on the first downhill so pulled it and had a long walk back but got to cheer for my pals. Out of the homeboys, local big bear peeps and the girls I was surprised how many friends were out there.
Silver lining was that I always start to conservative and then need to try and catch the lead pack. This time I started in front and was comfortably running w/ James, Jesse and another guy. Settling in on the first climb just before my ankle. Best balance of speed & endurance I have had running and feel like I can go out harder and trust endurance and not blow up. Very good learning going forward.

waited around for hours... literally until I got news that M dropped and rode back to base camp after I saw her. Good to spin the legs and ankle but really ripped some tissue with this one
