first marathon. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training.
had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd like someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized. this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the race my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha, also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to retie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.
really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!
