Fiddlesticks. Dropped out of Tucson Marathon.
Great course, well organized race, perfect weather, potentially good company(group of girls also trying to qualify and Susan L. doing a training run at just the right pace) but I felt terrible from the gun. I thought I was perfectly rested and fueled, my head was in a good place, I was excited and feeling good.... right until I started running; felt short of breath and the type of stomach discomfort that I associate with lactic acid buildup(but, I was going slow!!) I let the girls go, just ran my own pace which had me passing them on the downhills and losing ground going up,(usually an indication to me that I'm tired but gets the same results in the end) I tried every bit of self-talk i could think of; slowing, going faster, zoning out, focusing. nothing helped. every mile felt yucky.
2+ miles out to the Biosphere were uphill against the wind and 7:30/mi. I knew the way I was feeling that I would never make up those 2+ minutes in the second half. I gave it my best effort until mile 15, but it wasn't happening. called matt and jogged to mile 17 (then we went shopping and enjoyed the rest of a beautiful, warm, blue skied day)
Anyway, it was a great mini-vacation. I loved AZ. After a flight dealy due to ice storms in NY, I finally got home to a snow storm. yeah.
Time to regroup. take a rest(no running for a few days) and start a new cycle. 10k-1/2 mar training beginning with a phase of hill repeats and fartlek. I'll try again in Feb or March. Nothing like pushing it right to the line.
