Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Just back from watching Doug and some other BTers on the American Tobacco Trail Marathon. Saw Doug at the 6 and 9 mile marks. Lots of smiles and laughs. When I left he was ahead of the 4:30 pace group and going strong. |

I love that our DougRob was smiling and feeling good...he is probably enjoying post race goodies by now! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Home from my run!! I did not do what I was supposed to AT ALL, LOL!! Had a great run with a friend of mine, Heidi. I was a Garmin-Tard and had all sorts of issues with that, but according to Heidi I was about a 1:51:30, and we negative-split the course after going out faster than I was supposed to. Last time I raced the course I was a 2:03, so that's awesome for me, and only about 1:00 off my PR, which is from a much easier course. All of the fun was really dampened at the end, though, when walking to our shuttle, we saw a guy go down about 20 yards from the finish. Eyes rolled up in his head, foamed at the mouth... a friend with us is an ICU nurse and she hopped the fence to help, but then backed off as more people came around to help. It felt like a LONG time for the medics to get there. "Ken" did not have a pulse, they were doing CPR and had to pull out the de-fib -- it was really freaking me out. We hung around until the ambulance got there, and they had a pulse when we left, but man, it put it all into perspective very quickly. He was young (30's?), not overweight, and so close to the finish. Of course we knew nothing of his overall health (diabetic? heart condition? not enough fluids? too many fluids? who knows...). So sad. It REALLY freaked me out. *sigh* Hug your families, folks. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey everyone. I am back. As Tracy said, we saw her and her husbamd Doug at the 6 and 9 mile markers. No funny signs though. ![]() I ran with a BT buddy mine, hlilies. We deliberately started slow to fend off late mile bonking. We were indeed having fun as we passed Tracy, but around mile 12 things got harder. That was where we did a our first short walk. The next was at aroung 13 miles. I did a GU eevry 40 minutes, and took Endurolytes, Tylenol, chomps, water and Heed/Gatorade (No GI issues here). Despite the preventive efforts had calf cramps that I fended off as best I could. Then might left quad tightened up. However, we kept going, just slower. We finished in 4:59. (according to our Garmins.) I will ahve to look up the official time. When I have that I will do a full race report. There was real good beer and so-so pizza at the end. But why did they put the beer as far from the finish line as possible? Also they were no longer giving out free massages by the time we finished. ![]() Overall the one thing I would do to make it better is...lose a lot more weight! Oh, and Jen from our mentor group finished the 1/2 marathon in something like 1:51! She rocked it! And she and her boyfriend Scottie stayed the 3 hours until we finished, met us at the line and took pictures. How cool was that?!! Now off to my soreness, oh and Jury duty tomorrow. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I thought of you all during the run. Kinda cool that I got a couple of inspires while the run was in progress. BTW: I am even more impressed with Chet 3:10 now. Milke, the guy who did my bike fit finished the full in 3:07. I cheered him both times we passed one another, and afterward he said it helped. I noticed both of his inner ankles were bloody. I asked if his opposite foot hits his ankle ( I used to do that). And he said yeah. Tough guy. Yeah John, there should be a rule about beer placement! I also think there should be a weighting system, literally. All those skinny people that finished fast did not have to lug the weight I did. I terms of work completed it has to be a lot closer ![]() Scary about Ken, please give us an update if you get one. Oh and the official time was 4:59:27. |

So awesome to have your very first marathon in the bag. I love the feeling of DONE!!! Now you can move on to your other plans. Way to go!! Sadly I don't think there will be a Ken update unless it's the worst possible outcome and I read about it in the paper. I'll see what I can track down... Poor guy didn't even get to finish. ![]() Doug, be good to yourself this afternoon and evening! Lots of water, good calories, probably an ice bath (my running pal told me to do that but I later determined I felt just fine and didn't need that torture, thank you!), and Advil is always my best friend. Do you have lots of stairs in your house? After some of my marathons I've had to go up/down on my butt or backwards for a few days. And I have found myself wishing I had handicap support around my toilet, LOL! Quads do not like marathons the next day. Any news from Linda? |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here is my report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/races-edit.asp?raceid=128025 I have 17 steps in my house, and yeah they hurt. When I was younger I had to go up butt first after 24 hour bicycle marathons. It took 10 minutes to get up 13 steps and then I sat in the bath tub as it was too hard to stand. |
