Ok here come the excuses - Leading up to the race day i did a cross country route and seemed to strain my calf muscle.
I rested it and then with some long car driving journeys the pain seem to move up into my hamstring.
Something to do with having my right foot on the accelerator for long periods of time.
More rest and Ice :noway:
The morning of the race day i could still just feel the pain but ran it anyway. I was annoyed.
I might run a race day on the treadmill and see how i do. Just to feel a bit better about myself![Sad Sad](https://www.time-to-run.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.png)
