 Run
Comments: Ran with 3:25 pace group. Carried Nathan 4 Bottle Belt - 2 bottles with 1.5 hour Perpetuem; 2 bottles HEED. Supplemented HEED with Gatorade Endurance on the course. 4 Endurolytes tablets every hour; 1 Hammer Gel every 4.5 miles. Crossed 1/2 marathon in fastest clocked time ever (including standalone marathons); crossed 20 mile at exact pace. Mile 24 - had right hamstring cramp - used hands to move my right leg while stepping with my left. Walked cramp out, then finished running. What would you do differently?: Little - absent the cramp, would have qualified for Boston. Even with cramp, ran 23 minutes faster than May Marathon.  Post race
Warm down: Walk back to hotel What limited your ability to perform faster: Cramp at mile 24 Event comments: Great race - great volunteers. If this fits into my schedule - would definitely run Des Moines again. Profile Album Last updated: 2011-10-20 12:00 AM
