Notes
Harrisburg Marathon. Nice cool and dry morning. The start was really congested but thinned out a little by mile 1. I felt good until mile 15. I had someone right behind me from about mile 3 until 13-14 and made me go faster than i wanted. I did try to slow it down, but the pace quickened.
My right knee started to hurt and this affected my right hip and plantar. Both legs seemed to get tight with the cold.
This race is two loops which sucks. You would think it's an advantage to know the course like that, but it's not for me.
I stopped at mile 22-23 at the aid station to talk with someone. That might have lasted about a minute. Then on the way back i was telling Michelle and Shelley looking dehydrated so that was another 5-15 seconds. My butt was tired but i never quit. Mile 25-26 didn't feel too bad but at that point it's over. I took a u-can gel every 4 miles and drank tailwind every mile. Summer gave me a fresh water bottle at mile 13. This Harrisburg marathon seemed to hurt more than the others. If it didn't hurt, you didn't go hard enough.
This is the first time in a long while since something has hurt during a race.
