Looking back, though, it's no wonder I couldn't finish. It was a new event/distance for me (Olympic duathlon) and it was my 4th race in 4 weeks (half-marathon, then 20k, then an 11k staircase challenge that was 6 days before the du). In addition to my legs giving up on me, the volunteers were cleaning up the course behind me as I was biking - that was the final straw for me.Caitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865016703282357720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349589916468289615.post-88494669289558027622012-04-15T16:57:12.813-07:002012-04-15T16:57:12.813-07:00I DNS'ed two races, one because I had left my ...I DNS'ed two races, one because I had left my phone in my friend's car and was unable to set an alarm or find the race as I didn't have internet in my apartment. I also wasn't trained, so it was bit of a dual reason. I DNS'ed Disney's Goofy Challenge, the two day event because I had not trained well, nor could I afford the trip to Florida. <br /><br />I've never DNF'ed but I did walk half of a half marathon at Camp Pendelton when I started to experience some heat exhaustion symptoms. I considered dropping out, but just kept drinking water and took it easy instead.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117125222900043654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349589916468289615.post-1530337318730300132012-04-15T16:22:25.550-07:002012-04-15T16:22:25.550-07:00You are so smart.

Ummm...not so much.<br /><br />It's great that the Boston officials are allowing deferments...for those who feel the need, but I am a proponent of the notion that running is an outdoor sport and sometimes it's brutal in the out of doors. You just have to go with it ...or sit out. Know your body. Know your limits. You are one smart cookie.XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.com
