Dismal Swamp Stomp Half Marathon - RunHalf Marathon

So this is a boring out and back on the dismal swamp trail. It is relatively flat with a lot of shade cover. Started out way to fast and by mile 3 I eased into the 7:20ish pace area. At the turn my hips started hurting (aka being sore). Then a couple miles later, my right knee started hurting. IT band area. Was able to run through all that. Just before the mile 11 marker I pulled into a port-o-pottie to sit down. Took about 45"-1' of total time, so I could have been even faster.

Not have to go to bathroom. Not be sore and hurting

Walked around. Waited to watch Mary W. come in. Stretched.


Nothing


Boring band that played way too loud. They gave you a food ticket that only got you 2 slices of pizza. You also had 2 beer tickets for a really good local brewey.

Also, got 3rd in my AG. But in the official results I got pushed down to 4th because of the Ainsley's Angel push chair division. Apparently one of the pusher is in my AG and finished with a better time than me. Didn't realize I was racing them because they are listed in a different division, plus they start 1 minute in front of everyone else.
