It stands to reason that your GI tract would need oxygen to function and I'll bet that gets diverted when you are running.<BR/><BR/>And, I call 2nd dibs on the picture.

I did CMM in '06 and had the worst race of my life. I vowed never to go back but perhaps you're right...maybe I should get my redemption too.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you turned it around and had a great rest of the weekend!Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995153336773206769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-35909296712009089792008-05-02T19:50:00.000-04:002008-05-02T19:50:00.000-04:00Wonderful Report!Wonderful Pictures!Wonderful Time...Wonderful Report!<BR/>Wonderful Pictures!<BR/>Wonderful Time!<BR/><BR/>Stop Apologizing!<BR/><BR/>You know I offered to take your bottle way before and took it from you and carried it before the potty break and also around the lake...then at mile 25 you actually asked me to carry it. :)<BR/><BR/>I think our first walk break was after the half way point when you wanted to take the picture...so you went pretty far with the issues you were having.<BR/><BR/>I remember seeing a lot on the run but don't remember that statue either.<BR/><BR/>It was so wonderful meeting you and running with you.<BR/><BR/>CharlieCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194398459256916637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-59433682157411700432008-05-02T14:28:00.000-04:002008-05-02T14:28:00.000-04:00You posted such a comprehensive race report I felt...You posted such a comprehensive race report I felt like I was actually there! Sorry to hear that you had GI issues, I can emphasize as I also had a tough Boston Marathon with Montezuma revenge, but I didn't suffer nearly as much as you. I resigned to the fact that this wasn't going to be my day and relaxed and had fun...again, apparently not as much fun as you! Well, I find these disappointing races a motivating factor since I now wish to redeem myself and get a PR at the next Las Vegas Marathon.robison52https://www.blogger.com/profile/02370199642749822405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-41000115472608033622008-05-02T14:04:00.000-04:002008-05-02T14:04:00.000-04:00Awesome recap!

Gels are notorious for being difficult to digest without 8-12 ounces of water following them immediately. I also slow down for a couple of minutes following a gel, to let me HR get down some when it's hitting my stomach it's easier to digest.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035108029047482424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-24353988712619674382008-05-02T07:59:00.000-04:002008-05-02T07:59:00.000-04:00Genius?

It is so hard to edit once you put in the html with the pictures. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the flowers and sorry for not giving you credit for that or the Rhianna joke--I couldn't remember if it was you or stick that said it.<BR/><BR/>And yes, CHEERS to you for drinking MORE than the 15 beers :)Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-90006939041900199172008-05-01T22:47:00.000-04:002008-05-01T22:47:00.000-04:00Genius, as I knew the recap would be (Sisyphus, re...Genius, as I knew the recap would be (Sisyphus, really???)... As I expected, good things come to those who wait, and wait, and wait...<BR/><BR/>The Calla lilies were all me. Why do you think it took me so long to meet up with you. One can't stop at the florist, buy three arrangements, get home, set them up, change, and walk/jog two miles in a short period of time! <BR/><BR/>People!, the Rhianna joke, all mine!!!<BR/><BR/>Finally, inspired by your post, I have posted a tribute on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to Nat and Stick for a great weekend!
