Comments: I ranked 608/1376 among women. I'm very happy with that considering I held back because of my knee injury. I really didn't expect to finish this race at least without walking, so I am very pleased. My knee held up fabulously. What would you do differently?: I wouldn't change how cautious I was because I did NOT want to damage my knee. I think I played this one right. As my knee gets stronger I will probably have to come back sometime and work on beating my time. Until then, I will be happy with my standing on this race. Post race
Warm down: Around mile 9 my quads started knotting up. It just got increasingly worse to the finish. I stretched and ate a couple bagels and had some chocolate milk (?). We walked a mile to our car because we got lost trying to find it. That was tough. Event comments: The event was nice. The expo was good. They could've been more organized with handing out water at the finish. They should have organized the food better where you didn't have to get in a long line just to get it. I was blown away that they were actually offering perfectly GREEN bananas. Garbage! Last updated: 2008-11-03 12:00 AM

coffee, bagel, banana, pooh!
None. Unless you want to count the 1/2 mile walk from the car to hurry up and get in line for the porta-johns before race start. We were cutting it too close to race start so we took off into the woods in plain site of a dormatory. Luckily, it was 7am and nobody was awake yet, at least that's what I kept telling myself.
