I did OK, with about a 2:15 hm in sight, but at mile 10 my body said it had enough. I still ran it it, but needed medical attention right after passing the finish line. (A volunteer came up to me and asked me if I was ok - I must have looked like death warmed over!) It was a gorgeous day in Carlsbad, otherwise, and I am thankful for the friends who helped me out after the race.

how are you feeling now? I hope it was an issue of not enough food or water rather than something more serious.
Congrats on a VERY strong finish, despite a rough few miles.
about 1 month agoAre you feeling good now? Congratulations on finishing -- not an easy thing to do when the wheels start falling off 3 miles from the end. :(
about 1 month agocongratulations, Irene!!!! Those are great stats. Sorry you didn't feel good at the end, those days happen, but you did it and the day was beautiful. So happy for you!!! :)
about 1 month agoOh no. Like everyone else is asking - are you OK now? Was it low blood sugar? Dehydration?
about 1 month agoCongratulations! I hope you're feeling much better now.

about 1 month agoI think the onset of a bad cold was the culprit, zapping me of every electrolyte and liquid I put in my body before and during the run. I think it was a case of dehydration, even though I *thought* I was getting in enough.
Well, congrats on another one under ur belt...sometimes those races just beat us up other times we just can't wait to do it all over again!!!
