Comments: super fun, I focused on having fun, and until about mile 7 I was completely w/out pain. Then the ITB started throbbing. bummer. lungs were great the whole time, max HR was still in Z2 What would you do differently?: I dunno. I wonder if I had gone even slower or perhaps took my walks more frequently I could have staved off ITB?  Post race
Warm down: stumble around trying to find janice sue et al What limited your ability to perform faster: damn knee. I also had to stop and gag and cough and sputter once bc the gatorade was so barfy and strong, i thought I might die. A fork would have made it easier to drink, it was so nasty, and when I went to spit it out, I breathed it in and started choking. A cop actually asked if I was OK, and I was so afraid he'd start yanking me off the course, but I couldnt explain that the gatorade was possessed by a demon. Major drama. Event comments: really well orgnaized and marked, tons of h2o stations, lots of friendly volunteers, a super time with BT friends Last updated: 2006-02-17 12:00 AM
