At the end of the run, though, my calves were cramping up soooooo badly. The cramps were so bad that as I was walking, my calves seized up and I fell to the ground. Luckily it was on the grass, so I didn't hurt myself falling. I had to flag down a couple of strangers to help me out because I couldn't get rid of it. I know I didn't drink enough water / vitalyte during the race, but I didn't realize that it would have such a horrible effect afterwards. I made sure to drink some vitalyte after the race and had a couple of bananas but it didn't help. Any advise to prevent this from happening in the future would be greatly appreciated.

2010 La Jolla Half - 1:53:36 ... Woo-muthaf'n-hoo!
I am completely elated at how well I did on the La Jolla Half! 1:53:36, this time is even better than the Carlsbad Half Marathon. I even managed to get a couple of sub 8 min/miles in, thanks to the down hills. =)
