Actually recovery was not too bad. Blisters are mostly healed now. Ankles and feet swelled after the race but compression socks fixed that. Now the ankle I rolled several times just needs a few more days of recovery to stabilize. Back to running next week so two weeks off. I think all the climbing and moving around the technical trail plus walking the last 20 miles meant the whole thing was much easier on the body than a flatter run (my much faster Autumn 100 run had me in a lot of body pain for a week after).

My friends Step dad, Gaz, is currently taking part in One Water Race - approx 200km running through Swedish trails and 50km swimming through open seas, with only a map and a compass to navigate. Absolutely crazy challenge! https://onewaterrace.com/about-the-race/

@Nik congrats man, such a bad ass accomplishment. Good luck on the next one.

I won a Strava contest and I’m so pumped on the prize. Indigo dyed Saucony peregrine by 3sixteen. The contest was for the undyed version and they decided to send out 2 pairs of indigo and I lucked out

@Jcaz6996 dude I’m with you! I thought running was something I couldn’t do anymore but the advancements in shoe technology has been a game changer. I missed it so bad. Starting small, signed myself up for a little 5k to start the build up.

Idk how old the post was that I replied to, just realizing it jumped halfway thru the thread when I opened lol

@WhiskeySandwich Nice one bud , when’s your 5k race ? What sort of training are you doing for that?
You shooting for a time ?I just completed Cardiff half marathon on the weekend was a lot tougher then expected, putting it down to having 5 weeks training from coming back from injury, those last few miles had to dig deep lol

@Jcaz6996 dang well good on you to get up and get thru it after an injury.
I just wanna be near 30, im no where near my old pace, but I’ve been increasing, I feel like I can get there in a few weeks.

@Jcaz6996 Glad you’re back running. I just caught up on this thread same as @WhiskeySandwich did yesterday. Great times you were doing before injuring your foot; I’m sure you’ll get back there.
It must’ve been a pretty windy race? No wonder it wasn’t easy.
@Nik Belated congratulations on your recent(ish) ultra results.
@simmosn Good effort too mate. What a race that is.
