Comments: Stayed on pace until about mile 21-22 then I think I pretty much started to BONK. Really hit it at about mile 25, definite BONK! I ate and drank enough and had great inspiration. I think the makor problem was that I could not get my HR down to a good level. Started high and went higher. We both knew I was gonna tank, the question was when and where. HR started at 175 and averaged 184 but peaked on the last hills at 193. Pace felt like a RPE 6-7 but hills were 9's for sure. I did drink a lot (water, gatorade not booze)in the days prior, carbs were upped in the days prior so nutrition was OK. I train on this course and have to do hills alot because I live on top of a pretty good one. Also, I do think ,in retrospect, that I was pushing my old bod to the limits. My 1/2 IM was only a few weeks ago and the marathon training was a bunch of long weeks to close together. But, hey, I did obtain several goals, the IMPORTANT ones!! I HAD FUN and STAYED HEALTHY! I had a PERSONAL BEST run aand shaved over 20 min. off previous time. I also had SOOO much support from everywhere! especially from ALL here at BT!! What would you do differently?: Give more time between "ultra" distance events. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Little walking around. Put feet up and get some nutrition. What limited your ability to perform faster: BONK, wind resistance of hula skirt and mardi gras beads, etc.(LOL) Event comments: I would recommend this race for anyone. Great scenery and good spectator support. SEE PICS IN BT ALBUM and have a good laugh, while I crawl back in my hole and recharge. This crowd attention is very draining.
