started good, legs felt pretty ok, after 1 mile I felt big pain on both sides underneath ribs (never had it before) had to slow down, 1st place put too much time on me during that time.. last 0.5 mile pain eased up and I finished strong thanks to Paulinka who cheered so lound in demanding voice to run faster(its because of her I made my goal of 1:05:00 by 3seconds...

no pain...
