I have not run in 6 weeks because of the torn ligiment in my left ankle. Because of this my HR was high and I had to force the run and still had a slow pace. All in all I am really not too surprised in thr results.

Warm down:

stretch and ice ankle

What limited your ability to perform faster:

still trying to get over the ankle problems.

Event comments:

I took 6 Endurolytes trough out the race. I had no cramps and had a clear head the entire race.
