RANM, Stage 2 began near the town of Quemado, NM. I was feeling pretty good on this day, except for the fact that the camber of the road (the slope of the shoulder) aggravated my left leg. It seemed as if the slant was putting more impact on my left side, as well as trying to force the tibia (shin) to externally rotate more than it should.
Thus, I noticed that the pes anserine area was a bit sore. This is the spot on the inside bottom of the knee where three major muscles attach: the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus.
I switched it up a bit and ran a lot of today's stage on the right side of the road. Usually, running on the right side is not recommended, but there is not much traffic out in this part of New Mexico, so it is didn't seem to be a problem.
