Comments:

I had a great 5k and 10k, but blew up between 10k and 7 miles. Lots of knee pain, which I think was due to overcompensation from previous broken ankle - ankle is bruised, as is knee. I don't know if the ankle is the result of the previous break, or the fact I was running in shoes that I think are probably good for up to 10k - lots of pounding/little cushon.

I did finish, despite the fact I hobbled in.
What would you do differently?:

I would have run the quarter marathon, or different shoes.
Post race
Warm down:

Hobbled a bit, banana, water and had G-Moose drive home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overcompensation for ankle pain caused knee pain - severe swollen knee. I don't know if this is from previous break, or from the low cushon shoes I was wearing.

Event comments:

Good race for a budget 1/2 marathon. Indy Runners is a great organization. If someone was hoping for a finisher's medal, they don't get one at this race.
