Sun- 18 blues cruise DNF

This was my first ever DNF. No Race Report coming. I felt good till mile 7. Then I felt some pain in my knee. Hadn't had knee pain in forever. Tried to stretch it out at mile 10, no luck. By the time I got the mile 13 I was in trouble. I had to stop and stretch every 200yards or so. Hoping it would go away I tried to make it to the next aide station. I made it about a mile and then had to walk the final 3 miles. Horrile IT Band pain, couldn't shake it, oh well.

I love breaking that 20 mile record at Baldpate. This time it felt too easy. The first loops was 1:29 and the second (shorter) loop was 1:18:28. Felt  good and did run at soccer practice that afternoon and in the evening as well. 2 years ago I ran this same loop in 2:47:45 and then ran a 4:30 at Bluecruise. I'm thinking this year might be a 4:15 or so. Fingers crossed.
