Comments: Went out fast. 1st mile was at a 6'15" /mi pace. By the 2nd mile I settled into a nice 6'35" /mi pace and held it until about 3.5 mile mark. Here is where I started to get a painfull heat cramp in my chest. The cramp was so bad it stopped me from breathing properly and I was forced to take short quick breathes. By mile 3.8 it got worse to the point I barely breathe and I stopped running and started to walk. I walked for about 2 minutes (lost about 50 places) and finally I was able to start a slow jog thanks to Hockey Mikes encourgement. I finished up at about a 8'30" /mi pace. What would you do differently?: I don't know what caused that cramp, but I would definately try to eliminate that. ![]() Post race
Warm down: stretch and drink beer (sponsered by Harpoon) What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat Cramp Event comments: These races are a blast. Even though my performance was not what I had hoped, the Harpoon races are one of the most fun out there. Last updated: 2004-06-21 12:00 AM
