St. George Marathon. I was on pace to break 3:00 or be very close to it, until I had a sharp pain in my left knee around mile 17 or 18 (I haven't looked that carefully at my watch yet). I backed off, but every time I tried to run it would hurt again. I walked pretty much the rest of the way. A pretty miserable race (so miserable that I'm not telling my time or logging it as a race). But I did have a really good 17 miles or so and now just need to do a better job of maintaining an aerobic base so I can be better prepared for races next year. |
