 Run
Comments: felt good until just after mile 6, then I started having some knee pain on right, hamstring pain on left and major developing blister on my left heel What would you do differently?: not spend weeks remodeling a house which helped contribute to knee and hamsting issues, get new shoes, these have never felt good  Post race
Warm down: walk through the throngs of people (20,000 runners etc), got medal, food, spent nearly an hour trying to find my husband which prevented me from meeting up with BT'rs at the race What limited your ability to perform faster: not sure, I came pretty close to a PR for this distance and it was a PR for this race, I was hoping to come in closer to 2:30 Event comments: I really do like this race. The course did seem a bit more crowded this year with an increase of few more thousand runners. I'd like to see them decrease the size just a bit. You can not beat the crowd support for this race. This was my third year doing this race. Last updated: 2005-08-14 12:00 AM

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon Great Race Sue!! You are amazing that you can run that far that quickly. Super on a PR!! It boggles my mind to do a race with 20,000 people. No wonder it is hard to find someone after the race. You'll keep getting faster... All that hard work on the house you'll enjoy as well...trade off...sore muscle for great house. |

Master 1254 Chesapeake, VA | Subject: RE: Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon Awesome race Sue! Good for you for running through the pain. Now make sure you take care of that knee before the Marine Corps Marathon. That really is a fun race. I too noticed that it was way more crowded this year, but it didn't take away from the fun at all. |

up at 4am, outmeal and coffee, left a bit after 5 to go to ampitheater to park and get shuttle to race start, this whole process takes close to an hour, each year I say I'm going to just go to the beach and park
light jogging and stretching, event started at 7am but my corral didn't go until close to 7:30
