Run
Comments: I hit the wall BIG TIME. First 13 miles avg pace 9 min/mile. Slowed a little over the next 7 miles, but through 20 was still at 9:30 pace. Last 6 miles I averaged 12 minute miles as I had to walk/run to get through it. What would you do differently?: Longer training runs. Band-aid the nipples! I though glide would do the trick but at the end of the race it looked like I had been shot in the chest by as sniper. Quite embarrassing. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I don't think my long training runs were long enough - I did several 15 mile runs but never built up to 20. The wall I hit at 20 was amazing. Its hard to describe - not just pain or fatigue, but more like a system shutdown. I also think I may not have drank enough fluids, I drank at each station, but at the end of the race I felt dehydrated and it was hours before i could urinate. Last updated: 2009-08-04 12:00 AM
