Trying to collect my thoughts after the race on Monday.

Its hard to say I'm not a bit disappointed but looking back I am starting to realize it wasn't the disaster I first thought it was. I knew around mile 10 that it wasn't my day. It felt like I had run 18 miles at mile 10. It really surprised me as my training runs I felt stronger as I went on. I don't know what to attribute that to, maybe the heat, maybe my nerves, the downhills? Who knows? I realize that I was also very dehydrated early on. I was drinking as much as I could grab at every mile marker after 13 miles and it still wasn't enough. The wind, heat and sun were responsible for that.

What was reassuring were two things. 1) I placed 2500 spots better than my bib number so that means some really quick, skilled runners were having a tough day too. 2) I finished!

Really an outstanding race to be a part of. I can't express how thankful I am to the people on this site for all the encouragement to get me there.

A small story about finishing: I crossed the finish line and my quads had had enough. They cramped up and I was going down head first. Two medics ran up and grabbed me before my face plant. I said "I'm fine!" The lady on my right says in a perfect Boston accent "SUUURRREEE you are, honey"
Makes me giggle thinking about it every time.
  • Edie Edie "SUUURRREEE you are, honey". Thanks for the recap.

  • justinmollak justinmollak Great stuff! You're right, seems like a lot of people had a rough day in the heat. You did awesome! Congrats! That last parts makes me laugh every time I think about someone saying that Bahston style.

    • posted at 04:18:00 EDT
  • dordio dordio Nice recap Dave and CONGRATS! Every time I've ran BOSTON, my legs and quads have been "trash" at mile 10; yes...it is the downhills they are demolishing your legs no matter how much you play it cautious. No way to prep for them

Well today was supposed to be swim, but my shoulder has been giving me some troubles the last few weeks in the pool, but I can usually stretch it out. Same yesterday. But then around 4pm it started hurting like a mother. Could not even peanut butter Gracie's PB&J. Or try on clothes effectively at the fashion show.:/ Matt worked it and taped it. So no swim today. Did Michelle's spin instead. It's no secret I handle injury like a champ, so I've been a tad cranky.

Sweat buckets today though, so that's good. Did some planks and what not afterwards.

If you wanna read a great article about two amazing ladies....check the Lincoln Journal Star. My gal Carolyn and her mama Kim. Their path to Boston. Truly inspirational girls. They don't make em any better. :)))

Have a great Thursday.

Big group for another Pat workout. 4000 yards. Getting faster with the stroke changes - so that's good.
And, it's Thursday! One of my favorites because it's my day to mentor at Boys Town high school - and I love it.

I've had 2 weeks of pretty good training...not so much this morning. For whatever reason, I did not have much energy. Still, got it done. 45 minutes cycling w/u, 60 minutes lifting, core routine, 60 minutes cycling c/d. Hopefully another easy spinning session tonight.

Track meet was delayed an hour due to fog, then during the boys 4 x 800 it started raining along with some pea sized hail. Finished the relay, headed indoors for abut 30 minutes. Finished the meet with finals only and ran the 3200 all together. That was interesting. Went well though.
