This was such a fun race. It mean...Thanks, friends! This was such a fun race. It meant a ton to have the ultra celebs (Gentry, Potts, Q) out there alongside the C'Ville running community too. So fun to mix it all up! I have huge huge respect for those of you who run fast marathons. It was fun and "comfortably hard" for the first 20 and then it wasn't. Amazing how the switch goes so quickly. <br /><br />I *thought* I knew nutrition and had it dialed in, but this race was a smack in the face that "snooze, you lose!" Wow. I had not really felt a bonk like that since MMT in 2005 and we all know how that turned out---ugly. <br /><br />Rooster, I am taking a page out of your book and got WAY out of my comfort zone. VERY impressed with you and your new found love---mountain biking!<br /><br />Thanks again for all the kind comments and support!Sophie Speidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898497608573807716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-30937162017305336452010-12-07T09:10:49.109-05:002010-12-07T09:10:49.109-05:00A great way to start the day; reading a heartfelt ...A great way to start the day; reading a heartfelt story on Sophie's blog! I'm sure with some "extra mustard" in the training (and watching your race nutrition :-)), you could PR your next marathon if you desired.

They do just what you did. You ran great. Yea there is always something we can improve upon, but you have to remember that it is much harder to eat and drink when you are moving quickly. There are no walk breaks up a long climb in a road marathon. You had the whole ultra world out there for support and it sounds like they kept you in line and focussed on the task at hand. I am proud of you Sophie. You showed those younger chicks just what you are made of.
