July 6th - 12 (Training Week)

Coming off Western States I feel pretty fit. Not to happy with my time, but pleased to finish on such a hot day. Had all my toe nails shoved off and bad blisters.
Could not feel my legs from about half way down the calf to my toes.
The legs give off a tingle feel when they hit the ground, almost like falling asleep.
The good new is the feeling is starting to come back.
