Cadbury Hobart Half Marathon dnf

A calf tear early on in the Cadbury Hobart Half Marathon put my run to an end very early on. Weather was cool and windy. Splits for what they are worth: 320,319,333,341,334,STOP,jog back to hotel,524,508,505. The calf had been sore for a few days, felt ok after warming up, able to complete all sessions. Felt good today on warm up and until 2km into race, then progressively worse.. It should be ok to train on again soon. Positive side early splits were good, felt smooth running, thigh injur/y appears healed. Calf strain was not original strain, located next to it. New strain likely as anterior muscle not working.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
