Comments:

Right knee started to hurt real bad at mile 6.5. Had to stop and stretch out my right leg at mile 8. Had a real good sprint the last 1.5 miles. Feet were numb from the cold for the first 3 miles which effected my stride.
What would you do differently?:

My training in the month of October was poor at best. Had life issues come up and was not able to run much. I have not run more than 7 miles since my last half marathon. Next time I will train better before the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank my Chocolate milk and tried to stretch out my legs. I started putting ice on the knee once I got home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold and pain in right leg.

Event comments:

The race was very well organized lots of water stops and the volunteers did a great job.
