Comments:

Went into this looking to get a 3:30 to 3:59. That went away quickly when at .28 into it my knee started reminding about how pain feels. Used all of my Advil before mile 20. I walked a lot after mile 17 to limit swelling and pain.
Prior to that my average pace was 8:40 min miles.
This was my worst feeling race and my second worst time. Makes me want to throw in the towel.
What would you do differently?:

Get my stupid knee to heal.

Event comments:

Not much food after the race. Kinda hungry when I got there.
