Thanks SO a lot for the nicest feedback the day before today!
We’re most certainly in Budapest via now (I’m no longer positive concerning the time alternate, however we left Monday), and I’m so excited to peer all of it. Lately will come with a number of miscellaneous issues from the marathon weekend:
*Races the place I’ve sufficient power to wave and smile at my children are my favourite races.
*My ache cave face… I saved telling myself ache is a privilege in the ones ultimate miles. I used to be fortunate to be wholesome sufficient to invite my frame to run.
*Their custom is to get pie each StG Marathon morning. This spot is at mile 6.5 at the route, and it makes me so satisfied they do that.
*Let’s communicate sneakers! I absolutely imagine the Adidas Adizero Adios 3 is the simpler shoe (for me). My frame feels higher in them, and the jump is unrivaled. So why did I put on the Vaporflys? One time, once I wore the Adizero, they tore up my heels. Blood. I used to be too afraid to possibility that taking place with them throughout a marathon. I beloved the Vaporflys, they usually have been nice for the marathon, however they’re a second position for me however I will be able to consider them not to harm my toes.
*I wore a most sensible (with a inbuilt bra) that I don’t generally put on… An excessive amount of material on my chest makes me really feel claustrophobic throughout scorching races, so I went for one thing extra releasing and wow. It’s a game-changer for me. I saved dumping water on myself throughout the race, after which feeling a breeze on my chest felt so just right and significantly cooled me down. Males are lucky they may be able to move and not using a most sensible if they would like🤣
*Please are not making the similar mistake I did on Saturday. I forgot to fasten the door at the porta-potty sooner than the race. I’m nonetheless embarrassed.
*I couldn’t open one among my gels throughout the race! I used to be ready to provide it to Andrew to have him open it, however unfortunately, I couldn’t even take it as a result of not anything was once staying down.
*This route has my center.
*Does anyone keep in mind again in 2018 once I raced with a Energy Bun? After each race since then, I am getting feedback or DMs asking why I don’t do this anymore, and I’m no longer positive why…. My present hair period would handiest permit 10% of my hair to enter the ability bun at the present time 🤣. I’m very sorry this custom ended however I feel I’m sticking with shorter hair endlessly now.
*Day 7 of my cycle is my favourite time to run.
*I want I keep in mind who informed me this, however ‘Go with the flow then Battle’ completely describes the marathon. I felt like I used to be ready to do this on Saturday!
*I used to be 25 seconds slower on Saturday than in 2022 in this route.… a 6:24 reasonable tempo for BOTH years, haha. What are the chances? I didn’t have a look at my watch this yr but even so a look right here or there… it simply came about.
*I were given my liquids from my bottles (the volunteers did wonderful with them) and used the help stations to offload water on my head. It felt so just right.
*Regardless of how steadily I run the marathon, it’s going to by no means forestall sudden me how steadily emotions alternate. Dangle onto that reminder if you find yourself hurting; issues can alternate anytime!
*I’m going to put on this most sensible steadily. The race winners and the grasp’s class get loose journeys to JAPAN!
*I informed Andrew that if I do have a time purpose for the longer term, it’s to hit each 2:4X time at StG🤣. 2:47, 2:48, 2:49 ✔️.
*Sun shades beginning at mile 18 are a necessity, no longer a need, for this marathon.
*My again was once essentially the most sore phase once I awoke on Sunday morning! I used to be past satisfied to get up and feature simply soreness, no longer an harm, as a result of we have now numerous strolling and working to do in Hungary (and I feel we will be able to pop over to Vienna too)! My children can not wait to move and stick with grandma and grandpa whilst we’re away.
*On Sunday, we took the children to peer the leaves. I’m going to pass over them such a lot.
