This was tough for me in some places (thr first 20, and around miles 40 and 80). I had to constantly remind myself: "You love this! This is what you spent a year training for!"<br /><br />I almost talked myself out of continuing any number of times. I hope I have learned this lesson. Keep it upbeat! Very good point....Run Home Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394064430195728410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-37095796683724812892009-07-30T15:39:59.710-05:002009-07-30T15:39:59.710-05:00Paige, congratulations!

I must have unconsciously recalled this because as I headed out at the start I was completely hydrated with a variety of beverages and had just topped off my water. <br /><br />See you at Javalina,<br />TammyRunner Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059758273238421216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-17902002255507568852009-07-29T22:28:57.917-05:002009-07-29T22:28:57.917-05:00I think what separates the 100 mile finishers from...I think what separates the 100 mile finishers from the rest of us is knowledge of the expression "fire in the hole." Not sure I want to find out if my intuition is correct. ;-)Toreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963115295471673405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-45077507082600294252009-07-29T22:05:00.713-05:002009-07-29T22:05:00.713-05:00Jerret -

This meant I needed to reduce my calories a little bit elsewhere, since Perpetuem has a that and carbs in it already. So it's all a matter of trial and error, and seeing what works for you.<br /><br />D-Ray - <br />I think I'll need to try the Desitin next time, SOMETHING has to work!!

Lots of good info. <br /><br />One thing I would do different is use Desitin for the "fire in the hole" problem. That's what it's made for and you can apply before the race to prevent issues. Squeeze some in a baggie to put in drop bags and it's easy to apply during the race by inverting the baggie. Then discard. :)David Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895710357380541330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-25058151095596391022009-07-29T19:29:56.349-05:002009-07-29T19:29:56.349-05:00Very nice post it will come into hand on my first ...Very nice post it will come into hand on my first 100miler.
