Rather, because I have totally experienced that "irritated" moment in nearly every race I've ever competed in. Whether it is other runners or cyclists, a pothole in the road, the weather - I will turn the pain of my race into absolute loathing at something. And then usually forget about it as soon as I cross the finish line. <br /><br />Congrats to you for a strong finish in difficult conditions!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160984082012790377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056853145561997056.post-4445281200942084932015-03-16T20:46:46.814-04:002015-03-16T20:46:46.814-04:00Great race recap.

I'm sure she meant it in jest, but it's not a very encouraging message, right? Whatever. I'm so glad you finished the race, but NOT glad about your knee pain. I experienced some of that in my last race (and the one before that) and it scares me; I know that it's related to another issue, but no one wants to feel stabbing knee pain in a race or during a run. Kudos for sticking it out, taking breaks and surviving the awful conditions; YOU DID IT! Thank you for linking up with the blog today and I hope you are reveling in post-race recovery and treats!
