 Run
Comments: 1st mile was slow because you had to weave in and out of people. It was pretty clogged. I saw May running by and ran with her for about 1 1/2 mile. At the turn around we spotted Ellen and May sprinted ahead to catch her. I said I would try to catch up but I just couldn't and I really had to pee. I tried to use a port a potty on the course but the woman in there didn't want to come out. What to do? I just started running again. At about mile 4 I felt like I might hurl. I was drinking at the water stops and that made it worse but I felt really hot. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I hate to run...for real. I wasn't in a good place mentally. What would you do differently?: Get a better nights sleep. This is the first time I've ever felt pukey during an event...I didn't like it! I would have used the bathroom even if I missed the gun time.  Post race
Warm down: My hands were seriously swollen! Worse than usual. I have no isea why this happens. I went through the food tent and nothing was appealing to me cause I still felt sick. "would you like a breakfast burrito" a guy asked me....OMG.. just those words almost made me throw up. I ended up eating a few bites of fruit and a gatoraid and started feeling better. Hung out with the other BT'ers and my friend Claire. What limited your ability to perform faster: I started out too fast, instead of saving something for miles 4-6. Lack of sleep. Had to use the bathroom. Event comments: This was a well run race with great tech t shirts and medals. It was fun hanging out before and after. I will probably do this again next year.

Pro 4612  MA | Subject: RE: RYKA Iron Girl Boston - 10K Sorry that you felt sick. Lack of sleep might be the reason. I had experience of swollen hands, sometimes wven with brisk-walking. It's great to have arranged to meet someone before the race so it forced you to go, and you did it! GOod for you. |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: RYKA Iron Girl Boston - 10K You looked perky and your normal fun self...I didn't notice you felt off. Nice running there...speedy given all you were dealing with at the race. I can't beleive that women wouldn't come out of the porta potty! Weird...wonder what she was dealing with...oh guess I don't want to know. You did it and next time you need to suck it up when it is hard and you feel bad, it might be easier. It was great to see you as always!

Master 1848 Canandaigua | Subject: RE: RYKA Iron Girl Boston - 10K Gald you had people to enjoy the race with. Good run time despite the need to pee. That about the avg you sleep normally. What was the problem? (sorry). I hate trying to time out the port a potty. What do people do in there and do that stuff at home. Sorry for the upset tummy. Next time make it a big fat salt bagel that will hold your water in. |

I got 2 hours of sleep. If I hadn't planned on meeting my friend Claire by the highway and driving up together, I would have skipped the race. I had a huge dunkin donuts iced coffee and half a bagel.
Saw Nikki briefly at packet pick-up. Met up with Kathy, Emily and Kevin. Then Monica and her husband and dog.
Then saw May, Ellen, Donna and Mike.
I waited in a big line for the port a potty. Of course by the time the race was about to start I had to go again. I wasn't brave like Ellen to wait until 1 minute before gun time to go.
