Took past 2 days off in hopes of recovering some and giving the knee a rest.
Unfortunately the knee still hurt today. I did a warm up and it did not feel
good at all. Knee really hurt and didn't feel better till mile 6. The downs
really hurt! On the ups it was not so bad so I pushed the ups. I still had
a great race however and probably ran a smarter race since the knee was
hurting. I went out slower and that allowed me to run faster towards the end.
I passed several runnners over last 3-4 miles. Got a masters award for 4th but
they screwed up some results and I should have been 5th master.
After the race I did a cool down and my knee was already complaining from
the hard effort. Glad to be done road racing for a while. Bring on the trails!
