My race crew wisely had me soak my legs in Healeys Pond after the event. Thanks to M & M!!!
After 22k my right knee (my good knee) would pop right out of socket and cause me to walk. Eventually I figured out that a high-step stride kept me running. I had to focus on running over imaginary rocks and roots. Using orienteering as training for road racing has its inadequacies.
I add another marathon to the collection: MA, NH, NL, NY, ON and ITA.
