My race was the tale of two races, the first half was great, finished the half in 1:58 and was really feeling stronger as I was going....wish someone had told my left knee that. I had my first dose of ITB problems to the point where at around mile 18 I was contemplating how much money I had in my race belt and how much it would cost to take a cab back to the start finish area. I'm not exactly thrilled with my time, but bad races happen. Here are my splits for the day

Mile 1 9:27
Mile 2 9:27
Mile 3 9:18
Mile 4 8:56
Mile 5 8:40
Mile 6 8:38
Mile 7 9:10
Mile 8 9:11
Mile 9 8:54
Mile 10 8:22
Mile 11 9:14
Mile 12 9:14
Mile 13 8:44
Mile 14 9:42
Mile 15 9:32
Mile 16 12:20
Mile 17 12:21
Mile 18 13:10
Mile 19 10:56
Mile 20 9:44
Mile 21 9:21
Mile 22 13:19
Mile 23 11:41
Mile 24 13:22
Mile 25 12:32
Mile 26 10:18
Mile.2 1:56

At the end, if it was flat I could still run reasonable times, if it was on hills, or side hill(with the crowning in the road)forget it.



Amputate my left IT Band.
