Run
Comments: The first 7 miles were a blast - I had a great time running through the neighborhoods, past the groups of spectators cheering us on, just having a great run! At about 5 miles, my stomach starting to feel funny and I started looking for a restroom with a somewhat small line. At about 7 miles I gave up and stopped at the first one I could find. After waiting almost 5 minutes, I decided to run a little farther and found a bakery that let me use their restroom, but my stomach never felt better after that. My run slowed WAY down, in order to keep my stomach pain tolerable and I had to walk a few times. Around mile 10 or so, I found Elena and she was kind enough to help poor, grumpy me along to the finish! :) I didn't have a time goal for this race, but it was still disappointing to see the time slip away when the race started so great! What would you do differently?: I don't know - I didn't eat anything unusual all week, I can't figure out what caused my issues. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, visited the portapotties, stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Stomach issues Event comments: I really liked the course - except that there were very few mile markers. I saw mile 1, mile 4, and then 1 mile to go - that's IT! I think they decided the marathon markers would be enough, but from other races I have done, I didn't know if they lined up. It was very frustrating not to have the course well marked - I was surprised, since this is not a new race organization. I think if they can fix this one thing next year, it will be a great race. The spectators were fabulous - I was extremely impressed by the number of people out cheering - especially for a 1st year race in Atlanta! Last updated: 2006-08-24 12:00 AM
