Comments:

Run went well. Haven't been trainig much since Austin. My right hammy started acting up around mile 10. I knew it would be tough by the end. Felt really tired, running thru the trails. It wasnt a hard course, but very twisty and turny and couldn't ever get in a rhythm. Also, it was tougher on the lower legs.

nothing

Event comments:

Good smaller trail race. Had a 10K, half, and full. ONly 31 marathoners. Limited website. Packet pickup was smooth, races started on time. Course was well marked even with all of the twists and turns. There were only a couple of aid stations, but this was well publicized beforehand. Good, low-key race

I can train for half marathons on pavement and on trails, but as soon as I change it up to gravel or loose dirt my knee swells and the pain it causes is unreal. Any ideas why this happens?

My sister warned me about being used as a launch ramp by faster swimmers but much to my surprise I was the one swimming over those in front of me. I went around one woman, then another.
