Bummer about your run Leslie...how long were you out there for? Did you take it easy at the start and warm-up? Were you trying to keep your HR in a particular zone?
So even though I don't have all the details...sounds like you're a big sweater (sweat a lot-not the big pink fuzzy kind LOL at my own joke ) You said you took 2 S-caps-you probably needed more. The directions on the bottle recommend 1 every 30 min in humid conditions. Also, you could have been pushing it too hard for the conditions especially if you're not used to them. And unless your veggie burrito had some beans in it I think you should have had a burger to eat-more protein to help fill you up.
I know you didn't ask for any advice but and you certainly don't have to listen but you have to have this stuff under control before your next race.....I just want to see you succeed
This is short because I want to spend as much time as I can with my Hubby while he is here. I will post a longer report after he leaves. I finished the race and felt good for most of it. Time 2:02 which makes me VERY happy. I can't tell you how many times I had to pull to the side and stop for mountain bikes on the trail, so I guess I could have had a faster time too. SWEET! Thank you guys for the encouragement! I am totally psyched and have much more confidence in meeting my goal next year! Kitrin
