How do I describe this disaster?! My GI tract just doesn't want to let me do what I want to do. Two miles warm up and the tummy trouble started almost immediately. I managed 2.5 miles into the wind in 6:57 pace and average heart rate of a reasonable 161. Would have liked a faster pace at that heart rate, but the wind, heat and stomach issues were tough. Pit stop at Williston. Managed another mile at 6:55 and a low of 154 before more tummy trouble seemed to be arriving. Another 1200 at 6:45 and 152 before the final pit stop and finished with 1.75 miles at 6:55 and 156. This was meant to be six tempo miles around 6:45-ish with the heart rate around 165. Without the GI troubles I think I could have pulled it off. Two miles to warm down on the treadmill. |
