Comments: After all the leg issues starting at mile 15 in Houston I was concerned my body could not hold up. Either bumping weakly mileage to 50+ after Houston or the slower pace made a huge difference. No ITB, PF, or abductor issues like I had in Houston. Glutes started getting sore after 10 but I could deal with that. Felt much better after this race physically. What would you do differently?: I might play with a slightly faster starting pace for the next ultra but have other experiment to try in Boston.  Post race
Warm down: Just stretched and BS'd with friends. Event comments: Relative to Houston Cowtown can't compare but is a blast to run because all the running friends there. Last updated: 2012-01-03 12:00 AM

Expert 1608  Grapevine, Texas | Subject: RE: The Cowtown Ultra Marathon Congrats on your first ultra! Have a feeling there will be many more to come. Grabbed first in your AG too I see....nice. Glad we were blessed with such awesome weather. Question: why the baby asprin?...just part of your daily preventive care routine, or is there a reason for doing that on a race day? |

Saw an article on the recent heart attack deaths by seemingly fit marathoners that pointed to two possible reasons for these occurrences. They reccomended a baby aspirin the morning of the marathon and to limit your caffeine intake that morning to 200 mg (a tall starbucks). I started following this routine earlier this year before the longer races to keep from keeling over...or at least to improve my odds. |

Expert 1618 Temple, TX | Subject: RE: The Cowtown Ultra Marathon I consider myself only HALF nuts to run a half marathon.... full marathoners are fully nuts.... but what does that make ultra marathoners??? Pycho??? Great job out there, I can't imagine keeping that pace for that long.... and glad the baby aspirin worked! |
