Regular 1893 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Cheer for GatorDeb Today Thanks  For the swim and the bike I did what I could. For the run I was running way faster than I wanted to and started walking .05, running .45 X 2 every mile to slow myself down (I had the 4 fields I wanted in the Garmin and had to figure out how to walk on miles instead of minutes), and the last 10 miles I had 3 hours so I figured what the heck I can do 18 minute miles for 10 miles. Chicken broth, bananas, and coke. They are the reason I am an Ironman. I don't sweat hardly anything at all but I get de-salted easily. At mile 16 I felt like I was gonna pass out and dizzy (and had been doing Perform and Coke). I was walking next to the grass in case I fainted I would land soft. I asked a few people what to do if I felt like I was gonna pass out and they said chicken broth and coke. I did those two every chance I got and they did help a lot. My quads were hurting a bit and bananas helped. I was afraid my body wouldn't hold up. I saw a man cramp up HALF A MILE away from a 100-mile finish. I will never forget that. He was fit and strong and a good runner. When the body seizes, the body seizes. I also didn't want to get blisters. I played the run conservatively and knew I had to finish 16 mins before midnight so I was constantly re-calculating. Better a 16:59:59 Ironman than no Ironman at all. So it was a calculated walk for the last 10 miles. |

Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: Cheer for GatorDeb Today Originally posted by GatorDeb Thanks everybody!! Race report coming as soon as I get it done.A lot happened in those 16:52:26 hours lol I seeded myself in 1:45-2:00 (and did 1:49), and started at 6:44-ish or so, so I really didn't have until midnight. Awesome, Deb! Can't wait for the race report. |
