What Does A Bruise Above The Knee Indicate?

I am a 67 fairly fit male who decided to race my 30 year old niece and had to stop as I got a very bad thigh cramp.
It was over a week ago and then as it healed the area turned into a dark bruise on the back of my thigh above my knee.
It is healing slowly but should I be concerned--never had this happen on my life.
Thanks
