Well yesterday was my first race and ultra race for almost 2 years. I’ve suffered from an never ending injury that made me put my running shoes more to the side. While the injury is not completely healed, it’s better now.
So I’m at the start line of this 50km super technical trail race and wondering how it will go. I hadn’t planned on racing it but when the start when off well... I just couldn’t help myself 😂! I mostly wanted to see where I was at and what I could do. The first lap went well, but my shoes were a little big on the sides so my feet were traveling from left to right every single time I was on a rock or something. I knew I was going to pay for it later. My injured foot started to hurt also at the end of the first loop. All this said, at one point I told myself the pain isn’t bad and doesn’t worsen and that even if my training wasn’t optimal for the past year, « this was not my first rodeo ». I told myself that I had to have confidence in the experience I gained in many races and let it guide me. It’s exactly what I did and managed to finish 2nd female.
