You are the crazy starter and that volunteer that gave you a ride won't be forgetting you soon. Anyway I think that trail on Bolinas Ridge has become more cambered over the years. I don't remember feeling like I'm slipping off the trail in years past. <BR/><BR/>So what could you have done to the calf if you had a chance to do it all over again? Would stretching or massaging it have helped? It's been my experience that once something like that sets in, it's there to stay. I guess stretching or massaging is better than no intervention at all.Rick Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-16304110007578693752008-05-09T11:15:00.000-07:002008-05-09T11:15:00.000-07:00Mark, what a day!

You looked great!<BR/>I almost said "Hi" to you at the start, but right when I recognized you Tia announced "60 seconds" so I thought maybe it wasn't the best time. Plus you were talking to Scott Jurek and I was having a little star-struck-ultra-runner-shyness. Now that I know how stressed you were at the start I'm glad that wasn't our introduction.<BR/>Don't feel bad about your uber unhip non-carpool. I think when we own up to our stupid mistakes in our blogs, opening ourselves to public riddicule, we are automatically forgiven.<BR/>Entertaining post as usual!

I'm glad the start time was adjusted accordingly. Also, thanks for putting that trail ettiquete gem into writing.
