Yeah, I’ve never been up as early as I was that day, nutso. Yeah I think that race is gun time, not chip time. I guess the chip is just to track your finish. I too have heard it is one of the hardest courses, but I think hard on your body, not difficult course wise. <BR/>As far as the cramping goes, maybe more salt would help in those last 6 miles. You’re the pro at marathons so I can’t really give great advice, but they make salt pills, or you could try pretzels or Endurolytes (www.hammernutrition.com) . <BR/>Great Job though! Your journey is amazing. Can’t wait to see you at St George. Maybe we can ride the bus together. Hey is there any camping in St George? We had a nice condo, but our friends backed out :-(Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965358574816248984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681039209483384538.post-20532048746013793062008-07-28T11:10:00.000-06:002008-07-28T11:10:00.000-06:00Sounds like you did over all better than the last ...Sounds like you did over all better than the last couple of races. Bum deal that your IT band was the hangup this time : (, but 4:55 is nothing to sneeze at! If I can come anywhere near to that next year, I'll be ecstatic! I just don't want to be the last person across the line ;).Nurse Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701919857269926765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681039209483384538.post-59502424726857677752008-07-27T16:39:00.000-06:002008-07-27T16:39:00.000-06:00P.S. 4:55 is awesome, even if it's slower than yo...P.S. 4:55 is awesome, even if it's slower than you wanted!

I know it's hard to have a disappointing race, after SO much work in training. But it's good to know you have another one coming up. Did you do the Montana (Missoula, was it?) Marathon yet?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376800609919338088noreply@blogger.com
