RVRR Summer Series XC #1

I ran pretty poorly tonight at RVRR Summer Series XC. Racing tip: Don't put spikes on for a race if you have not gone running in them for over 2 years. Plus very fatigued from 27 miles of weekend trail runs. 1st mile felt OK. 2nd mile cramped my left hamstring and both shin areas (tibialis anterior). I slowed so bad that I decided to stop at the top of Red Barn Hill on the 2nd lap, and I ripped the shoes and socks from my feet! Finishing barefoot felt so much better!
