#GRTM (inaugural Greenbrier River Trail Marathon). I had high hopes for my performance at this one but shoe and blister issues made for a very long day. Otherwise felt good. But I finished so there’s that. KT tape worked well on my Achilles tendinitis, there was some discomfort but not as much as without. I do recommend checking it out next year for a pretty flat (downhill) course they I believe is a BQ. Use a hydration pack as, with the uneven spacing of the aid stations due to access, it was a lifesaver in the heat today. #vendettaracingteam #iamvelocity #trimafia #iwearvelocity #resultsstarthere #infinitnutrition #barrelmantri https://www.instagram.com/p/Bopx9msl_ax/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17xqr680w3b0r

A much needed (and welcome) #beerintheshower post #GRTM , my worst ever marathon time. Damn the #hokaclifftons ; my right toe is completely swollen with blisters (among the more traditional #hoka blister places). Was going at a decent pace (for me anyway) until it happened and walked over half of the race. Never again until maybe when they make a men’s size 7 so my toes can naturally move. But it’s done. https://www.instagram.com/p/BopxFmYl38j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=plc89c6n4vd
