Comments:

Ran the first 2 miles very strong and at a sub 8 minute mile. Felt good. Somewhere between mile 2 and 3 my right knee started feeling a little tight/ pain. I slowed down to try and let it do its thing. Third mile at a 8:35. Knee getting worse. Walked/shuffled/ walked last two miles.

What would you do differently?:

I'm not sure. Maybe start out slower and allow more time to warm up.

Post race

Warm down:

No problem warming down. Very strong winds (34 mph) and surrounded by water. Temp was around 50 degrees but it felt very cold.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My knee having a bad day! Maybe it was all those Christmas cookies.

Event comments:

Race was very well run. The pre race announcements were actually audible and clear. There were alot of door prizes.

And once again my wife takes home a medal - 3rd in AG. She will be kicking me soon!

If it hadn't been so cold/ windy it would have been even more fun.
