Run
Comments: I hadn't run in a week because I was concerned with pain in my left knee area. Still worried about it race morning. Turns out I had other things to worry about as within the first 10 yards of the run I had sharp pain in my right knee. It was so bad that I thought i was going to have to stop before I even hit the mile mark. I started planning how I would get to the finish (it was in a different location from the start) to wait for Mark. However, I slowed things down a bit and as things loosened up the pain decreased. Still, there was enough discomfort that I decided the smart thing to do was to turn the full into a half. This turned out to be a very smart decision as a few miles later my left leg/knee area was acting up. The pain was from my lower hamstring down the back of my knee into the calf. I had been having this issue on my long runs for about a month. Really wish I knew what i did. At least it wasn't as bad as it had been. The right knee ended up feeling pretty good, so I don't know what caused the pain to begin with. Outside of my issues, the run was nice. Watching the sun come up over the Atlantic makes for a nice Sunday morning. What would you do differently?: Not be hurt! Post race
Warm down: just walking around the area. What limited your ability to perform faster: pain and lack of talent. Event comments: This is a nice little race, the post race area was cramped this year as the parking lot where everything was staged was being renovated, so space was at a premium. Post race food and drink was pretty good - happily took advantage of the beer truck! Last updated: 2011-02-19 12:00 AM
