It feels like my right leg is on fire. It stings so bad that it just won't stop shaking. I never ever worry about crashing until it happens, today, it finally did. It really hurts.

It was a 10,000 meter public event, there was the skating event then the running events afterwards. Keep in mind that I worked my body over to have faster twitched muscles for the 300, 500 and 1000m races and it is inline skating, so no ice. By the end of this one I was pretty tired. I was sprinting/fighting for 9th place until it happened. I went too far on my outside edge and hit the pavement, grinding to a stop along with the skin on my right leg being ripped away, my knee, hip and calf got it pretty bad.

I should just give up on long distances and go all the way on the sprint races since I can win national championships with the speed I already have.
