Context: My left knee remained tight , throwing my normal stride off a bit , making my running feel quite awkward . I managed to maintain the pace over the next couple kilometers , but then I started getting a muscle cramp in my left thigh . I knew this was caused from my awkward stride and tried to ignore it . By the halfway point I was hurting and was losing speed rapidly .

Option 2: I decided to ignore the pain and I managed to race very well regardless
Option 3: I stopped to strap up my left thigh and then I finished the race
Answer: 1
