Comments:

Race never separated.. made it tough to get run rhythm.. this caused achilles to get very irritated towards in end of run..
What would you do differently?:

I think i would have started closer to the front of the pack. i don't know what i did to get this injury.. so i don't know what to do to prevent it.
