This was my first race in about 10 years and it felt good to be out there again. I ran in the relay and was chosen to run the first leg which didn't bother me any because it was downhill. The weather was great I couldn't expect any better except I feel sorry for those who had to run past mile 7 becuase it started to get really hot.
My goal was to run 49 min which I achieved so I feel good about that. My splits were a little off and I wish I could have held a more even split time but overall I'm still happy. My knee kept hurting off and on throughout the whole thing and my calfs tightened about mile 5.
