Holy moly, I did not have getting stung by a swarm of hornets on my Mission Tejas race BINGO card.
But, that is what happened. I wasn't alone in getting surprise-stung, but I was hurting enough to choose to drop after 10K.
The course is beautiful, yet more challenging than expected.
Hats off to Cal Neff and Rob Goyen for quickly pivoting the course until the mad stingers were dealt with. (It makes me sad that they had to be killed because they were only doing what nature wants them to do.)
This DNF throws yet another wrench into my Snowdrop-100 training. But, as my mom would say, "Oh honey, everything will be all right."
