![]() Run
Comments: Started out with a buddy who talked the entire time (3 miles or so) til she had to stop due to fatigue and potty break. I can't run and talk at the same time too well so it got me goofed up from the get go. I then was not up on liquid intake and had not eaten enough prior. Also, I just started to run out of gas at around mile 7-8. Legs started to 'hurt' by 10 and it was a sufferfest to finish. I stopped to stretch at one point and walked thru the last few h20 stops to get liquid into me. I did not train enough and it showed. Had hoped to beat my last 13.1 but oh well. Live and learn. What would you do differently?: Train more and stick to my plan with running alone instead of chatting lots. Love my buds but wanted to race and save the chat for after. ![]() Post race
Warm down: A bit wobbly afterwards. Needed water and the crowd was big so I got over near the band and chilled while watching others race. Ate some bread and fruit but brats were not high on my food wishes. Did take a bite of a friend's but that was all I wanted. Hit the diner breakfast with the family just after noon anyhow. What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of lots of long runs. strength, hydration, and not enough foodies in the am. Event comments: Best part - Lambeau! Goosebumps and carried me to the end! Too bad my legs were so shot...not up for the Lambeau leap ;) Last updated: 2010-04-21 12:00 AM
