hung out at Conquer Castlewood race today. tried to ride a bike. Carrie said I had enough ROM to make it through a whole pedal stroke but i mentally couldn't handle it. so lots of one-legged pedaling.

got up to go to work and had to call in. owwwwwww. stayed home.

pre-race long run at CW w Jeff. 3 loops of tonights race course. good 1st loop, felt horrible 2nd loop, went to the bathroom, felt better 3rd loop.

then, the race! planned to go hard and then tack on a couple cool-down miles for a nice long run total. sunny was there so the race was really for 2nd place chick. was in the mix up the 1st climb (Lone Wolf), then decided i wasn't hurting enough for a 4mi race so pushed and established 2nd. running really well up the 2nd climb (Ranger Station) into Roller Coaster and then started being caught by a few guys, including my orienteering "rival" Jeff (not Sona). we hit the start of the finish downhill and i really wanted to take advantage of that. except i hit my foot on a root or rock or something and went down quite hard. boom. race over. smashed up my L knee pretty hard and took a lot of time to get legs to stop cramping and HR/breathing under control. Jeff (not Sona) and Laura stopped their races to help me. so awesome. eventually made it downhill where Jeff (Sona) and Karen used their medical skillz to clean me up and send me to the hospital. 4 stitches.
