Ghoulie August Assatar Challenge- Run or else (Page 38)

So I have a question for you Gouhls. During the race Saturday, about half way through the run, I got the chills. Goosebumps, chills, still sweating, and a little loopy. I drank 20 ounces of water on the bike, and I took a gel before the swim, and nibbled on shot blocks every 20 minutes or so on the bike. It wasn't all that hot--maybe in the low 80's, but sunny and blue skies. Any idea what was happening to me? 

Last I heard she still had plenty up top, too.  

Prob. You can't gain mass that quickly in any other way than water retention.

I personally blame hormones. ADH is increased in response to pain/etc--prevents you from peeing. Also a contributer to hyponatremia in longer, endurance events. You were prob drinking on top of that as well. Water water water.

On top of ADH I also blame Estrogen/progesterone...stupid hormones--more water retention...I swear my boobs are bigger....I don't know how this is possible. Ridiculousness.

I should probably qualify the above statement: I noticed this post HIM and my gain was supported by the scale.

No. Def not.

I do. My back and shoulders are massive.

(oh was this not what you were refering too)? haha

Just guesses, but adrenaline can cause that, so could a skin irritation. Adrenaline is a no brainer, you were in a race. Skin irritation, maybe your wetsuit, or something in the water.

Again, just guesses.

Please tell me this IS what she was referring to.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. Sure.
(Wasn't she just complaining about it again a few posts above this one????) 

I have said it before. I could trademark my shoulders and back. Melissa's Shoulders and Back®

I qualified that statement...because I realised I hadn't mentioned post HIM I experienced the same thing as you. Haha. I blame hormones.

I haven't heard any complaints from Neal about any part of her.

that just means you are an awesome swimmer. 

I always say I have football player shoulders without the pads.  I hate my shoulders.  Broad, broad, broad!

I'm out of the village for awhile. My daughter is getting her physical this afternoon so I have to go pick her up and head to the doctor's office.

I'll stop back later.

Almost...

Neal is just such a nice guy...he would never...(well if he knows what is good for him...)

I feel ya Kendra..I feel ya.

Okay, todays after school special was not bad at all.  Yeah!  We noticed an awful lot of parents picking up in the park, not at the library, so that was really really nice.

they do tell me that it starts out quiet and then picks up.  We shall see how it goes on a day by day basis, but right now, I'm feeling good.

Glad it wasn't crazy!

Hey Ghoulies! Sorry I've been MIA the last week. Things around here have been a bit stressful, but at least I think I have the no-wireless-internet-for-Tom thing figured out so I should be able to hang out in the Village more often now.

The biggest casualty to my stress load lately has been my running, both in quantity and quality. I don'tknow what it is, but even when I head out feeling good I just can't seem to get a good quality run in. I'm thinking that consistency has been my weakness for about as long as I can remember and that I just need to kick myself in the rear and get a routine going. It kind of stinks not having a race on the calendar for another 5 months... Having a "goal date" always seems to help.

Anyway, I hope everyone has been well. I haven't been able to check up on the thread in the last week, but I'll do my best to get caught up tonight/tomorrow. It's time to go pick my daughter up from school, so take it easy everyone and I'll check back in soon!
