Comments:

Overall felt pretty good.

What would you do differently?:

I didn't get a great sleep the night before the race. I would've loved to break a 6:00 pace but given my low run volume lately and the poor night's sleep, I'm pretty happy with the results.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run volume, pre-race rest.

Event comments:

I love this event. Taking the ferry out into Boston Harbor is always fun, and the race is well-organized and benefits a great cause (Thompson Island Outward Bound). It's sponsored by Harpoon Brewery so the after-party is always fun. The field continues to grow and get more competitive each year.

Overall:	0/1014
Performance:	Good
Course:	There were some minor changes to the course from previous years but for the most part it was the same. Challenging and hilly course for such a short race. There were several areas that were rutted and I almost rolled an ankle a couple times. There were over 1,000 runners this year so it was fairly congested on the course for much of the race.

I can train for half marathons on pavement and on trails, but as soon as I change it up to gravel or loose dirt my knee swells and the pain it causes is unreal. Any ideas why this happens?
