Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSEDFrom Carrie w/r/t the Chicago Marathon: A PR by about 6 minutes, but similar result as fox valley for different reasons. Signed up for the 5:45 pace group (3:1 ratio). She started us at about a minute per mile too fast. She dropped out to the bathroom at mile 2 and I took over pacing til mile 8 or so. Garmin wasn't working again (or the HR monitor) so I kept us accidentally a 1 minute per mile to fast. Thankfully the pacer showed back up at 8 but I was blown up... Got dizzy going to the bathroom. Was soaking myself in water all day. Walked for a but, got myself back in it, but then battled with calf and foot cramps from mile 9 on....Oh yeh, and I was literally running out of endurolytes until a friend who jumped in to run with me at 18 told me to open the pills and dump them on my tongue to absorb faster.. it's the only reason I lasted!!! |
