Twin Cities Marathon | The Race That Got Away

Sometimes, no matter how perfectly you plan, race day has other ideas. You train hard, you dial in your workouts, you visualize every mile. But then… things start to slip. Fueling is everything in a marathon, but today, a missed bottle here… and there… threw everything off. I thought I’d be fine, but going 9 miles without fuel and then overhydrating at the later aid stations led to an upset stomach. Sometimes, your body just says ‘not today.’ And that’s okay. The race might end, but the journey doesn’t. It’s in the struggle that we grow. I’ll learn, I’ll adjust, and next time… I’ll come back stronger. I ran 18 miles at a 4:58 pace before throwing up and trying to push on. I averaged 5:05 for 22 miles, but the 22nd mile was a 6:27, and I couldn’t keep my drinks down.
