Warm up

This did not go right, pacing was ok for the first bit... but then the 3, 4km markers seemed wrong, and I was dropping off and struggling. Then I got a bad stitch just past 7km or so... do not usually get stitches, particularly not ones that make it pretty hard to breathe. It did not get better, so I stopped to see if it would go away (with people running by asking if I was ok), it did not... and so I tried to run with it still hurting and restricting my breathing. Hung onto a girl I had passed earlier who kept encouraging me to stick with her... without that I am not sure I would have finished.
Think it may have been the anti-inflamatories/painkillers for my knee that upset my stomach in some way. Felt nauseous / crappy for the rest of the day.

Warm up and some strides, and warm down after. Always seem to end up running with gord who does not seem to mind running a bit slower and falling behind the boys.

6 times 300 with Thomas, Nate, Ian and Gord... they gave me 5-10s head starts.
