I think you'd be hard pressed to find a hill like that to train on in most places.

I've never had a hamstring cramp and can only imagine how painful that must have been, both physically and mentally, being so close to the finish of your leg. But you did great both in running and recapping your experience. I hope the injury heals up fast. Congratulations on your relay team's performance!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-76511200352046836052008-06-19T01:48:00.000-04:002008-06-19T01:48:00.000-04:00Great debriefing of your race experience on Leg 6....Great debriefing of your race experience on Leg 6.

I offer you my weekend cycling training grounds - Skyline drive, just 55 short minutes from the Beltway on Rt66 West. All the hills you could ever think of.
