I can only describe JC as my worst running race ever... Started off in the gridlock traffic after we left at 3:45, and getting to Tom Jones at 4:40. At 5:50 we were still in the car, I jumped out to go to the loo, ran to the start and started 5 minutes late. We started right at the back, so it was a 3 km obstacle course to get thru all the walkers and "bigger" runners. At 7km my wheels came off with stomach cramps and usual nausea. I told my running mate that I am not going to do the marathon today, I am suffering and I am not even halfway yet. So I bailed... I ran my worst 21km time yet and a guy with a pram with twins came flying past me. Yesterday after the race I felt like drinking straight out of a wine bottle and eating McDonald's (which I haven't done in more than 6 years..) Going to the specialist again this afternoon, hoping he can sort out my nausea. Congrats to everyone who had an excellent training weekend, I am very jealous.
