I live at 5500ft, but when I go up to 10k and if I haven't hydrated enough - I have ZERO energy. I swear I have to take 2 or 3 naps a day. Still, good job hanging tough and finishing. Sounds like a fun race. brghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299658617359329649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-18647905067738165862013-06-16T19:06:29.002-07:002013-06-16T19:06:29.002-07:00Sounds amazing!

Yes, I learned the hard way how lack of food will affect you. Hit the big wall and it's hard to recover!<br /><br />I'll reply to your email today about my 50 miler training. This week was pretty much recovery with little running and a lot of strength training.jillconyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398264402337362781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-46319008071241381512013-06-14T17:38:09.143-07:002013-06-14T17:38:09.143-07:00Wow, sounds like a very tough race but that is a ...Wow, sounds like a very tough race but that is a great time!

It's one thing to run up and down hills (even straight up!), but to start at a high elevation is hard. Water the days leading up would be key.<br /><br />But, awesome job!!! Except for the falling part. Sounds like a great race.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386481584915253440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-23428983650709467912013-06-14T05:32:10.909-07:002013-06-14T05:32:10.909-07:00Ugh, that sounds 100% miserable!

I think you did awesome, especially considering the elevation and possibly dehydration or under-hydration. <br /><br />I got altitude sickness once when I was living out in Colorado in the summer. I felt like I had the flu and was so nauseated. It went away after about a day but I felt pretty miserable!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
