I don’t know you but I am proud of you. Knowing when to stop is 90% of the battle sometimes, and the consequences are often a lot greater than a bruised ego and disappointment. Well done.

Beautiful writing Jackson! Proud of you for stepping back, taking care of yourself, and for keeping your head up in the mental challenge of the days after, too. Thanks for sharing.

I am hopeful that writing and introspection is helpful in the healing process of moving past something like this. Try to hold on to the months of training success and what it means to your overall health and fitness. You may have DNF'ed the battle but you have not DNF'ed the war.
