Comments:

Silly silly pacing. This is my first high intensity race (or workout) in months, so jumping in at sub-6:00 on a super hot day was foolish. I tried to slow it down for mile 2, but the adrenaline of being around so many runners meant I couldn't. I got totally burned on even the slightest incline--my legs just aren't strong enough yet. Gotta work on strength/hills. But ended with a solid last mile, even though it kind of hurt.
What would you do differently?:

Start slower and actually try to negative split, instead of flying and dying.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran for 30' w/ Phil.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HEAT. Hydration. Lack of training.

I can train for half marathons on pavement and on trails, but as soon as I change it up to gravel or loose dirt my knee swells and the pain it causes is unreal. Any ideas why this happens?
