Comments:

I felt there was a need for more aid stations on the course. I should have broght my fuel belt. Unfortunately my left knee began hurting early in the run (approximately mile 4) and never let up. Plus I didn't wear my knee band which required more mental game than physical game for me. I knew I had the endurance to run the distance, but no the strength and the knee pain proved that to me. I was unable to overcome the mental challenge (i.e., knee pain). I was forced to walk a couple miles total near the end. Other than my knee, I felt strong in the run.
What would you do differently?:

Wear my knee band.
