This was my first run since the Rock-n-Roll 1/2 when I hurt my knee. I got cortizone cream and have been seeing a Specialist but my knee hurt a lot. I could have gone considerably faster but I took the whole thing nice and slow.

Not have my knee hurt!

BEER!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My knee/lack of training.

Event comments:

Great Race. Last year when I finished I said that I would never do this race again. If it weren't for my knee hurting..the race would have been perfect.
