Comments:

Excruciating pain in left knee starting after mile 6 marker. Otherwise felt very fit and could have kept going for ever. Heart rate very low after slowing down for knee pain.

What would you do differently?:

Take two advil in my pocket to pop after mile 5.

Post race

Warm down:

Took two advil and a beer and knee was much better after 30 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Left knee

Event comments:

Great turnout with what looked like 500 runners but post race activities were not existent. They should have better P.A. and gather everyone around to announce all the age groupers and times, but they only announced the overall and you couldn't even hear that. Kind of an anti-climax.
