Deseret News Marathon Began race at slower than usual pace because I didnt want to hurt myself too much on the downhill. Felt great until I got out of Emigration Canyon. Calfs began to tighten up on me. Wasatch Drive was very uneven and did a number on my ankles. On Foothill Drive my calves began cramping I had to stretch them every 6-7 minutes or so. This is not a common feeling to me! With less than 5 miles left I twisted my knee while trying to stretch out my calf, this slowed me down signficantly, had to walk some. Finaly finished at 3:59, I was shooting for a 3:20. |
