Got food poisoning from Costa Vida Friday night. (At least I hope it was just food poisoning or some other 24 hr bug). Had a horrible night, waking up with cramping legs and emergency bathroom events... My wife was out of town and got back late Saturday afternoon. That gave me time to rehydrate the best I could and attempt a run around 7pm.
1m- 8:22...hard to get moving...felt nauseated. Walked back to the car, discretely peed in the grass, and attempted a little more around the asphalt track by the Murdock... .45m @ 8:00 pace was about all I could handle. My legs liked the feeling of moving but I just wanted to barf the whole way.
It's now Sunday night and I've felt pretty good today! Instead of 8 tomorrow I'll probably go 10 to not feel overly tapered. I'm confident I'll still feel 100% on race morning and be ready for the same performance.
So I'm wanting to go out the first 1/2 in 1:11:30... Who is with me? Is that too slow for you, Fritz? I'm thinking it's conservative enough that I wouldnt ruin a sub 2:21 chance, but it's fast enough that if I'm feeling great I can still turn the burners on the last half for a 1:08:30 and sub 2:20.
