    • Right knee became very tight and sore around mile 5. Knee locked up about 6 times from mile 9-13.

    Ran easy and never pushed until the last mile. I had a good pacing going without running hard until my knee became sore. I slowed down so much do to my knee my HR even came down at in the later miles. HR should of been in the low 170's about the last 3 miles.

    I carried my own gel with me mixed with half water and half gel so I can get it down easy in a gel flasks. I followed it down with a little water from the aid stations at mile 3,6,9.
