Tyler Green

A frustrating DNF at TDS yesterday. I felt a strain in my quad early in the race and tempered my effort on downhills, but it worsened throughout the day till it brought me to a hobble. A small fall during the night or tweak on challenging terrain? I couldn’t diagnose the problem till I found a swollen welt later that night: a small extra headlamp battery in my pocket that added just enough pressure to irritate the muscle over hours of running🤦‍♂️ What a fluke. It’s a humbling lesson that small things compound out in these mountains.

I spent yesterday evening wallowing, but now there’s work to do. The main show is @rachelraedrake’s quest around Mont Blanc!
