Like we talked about after the race, If you realy want that sub 3 you need to limit yourself in the number of races you are doing. I know you can do it.

Also an SCap at 45/1:30, then again at 2:15.<br /><br />At Twin Cities, I took a Gu before starting, then Shot Bloks at 45 mins, then part of a Gu at 1:45. No Powerade (I was afraid of Powerade...I've never drank it), and sips of water at every other aid station (about every 4 miles).<br /><br />I've run 2:30 training runs with very little outside of water and been fine. I think the best plan for me is one similar to Fox Cities...it just got a bit hot at the end, and I'm terrible in the heat.nwgdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000663254776350045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-88057560314014992592009-10-07T12:35:23.475-05:002009-10-07T12:35:23.475-05:00Great run Nic.

I suffered a similar fate 2 years ago, albeit at a slower pace, where I did not take on enough fuel and suffered big time over the last 4 miles (positive split of about 8 minutes). <br /><br />I reckon you should take on as much fuel as your stomach will allow. I'd be interested to hear what your fueling plan was/is?<br /><br />All the best.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-140276482442963222009-10-07T11:38:12.691-05:002009-10-07T11:38:12.691-05:00Great run! 3:03 is a time most of us can't ev...Great run! 3:03 is a time most of us can't even effectively dream about, much less reach so it is an impressive accomplishment.BrianFlashhttp://www.runningteamflash.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-3867334301657587092009-10-07T11:15:19.398-05:002009-10-07T11:15:19.398-05:00I'm still reeling over the fact that I was sho...I'm still reeling over the fact that I was shorter when we met before (guess I really do have to work on my posture)! Didn't know chiropractors earned enough to eat at Murray's (and yeah, the steaks are amazing. Tied with Ruth's Chris). The book you found is based on a website I discovered long ago - it is funny, in small doses.<br /><br />You paced the race right, and I think you might've done sub-3 even after the other marathon, if you hadn't been training hard the week before. I don't understand fueling being an issue in a marathon, though, as I've done all my best without even water.<br /><br />Don't try again this year to break 3. Your mood shows you've dug a hole and it will take time to get out of it.<br /><br />I think your brother-in-law and I may be a lot alike. Wait. Kathy? Is his name Don? I might know him! He might be the one who told me about the Mystic Trail!<br /><br />If Ellie's baby shower slowed you three minutes, you'd still have run 3:00:05. Anyway, heckuva race.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-61784066586512195322009-10-07T10:57:33.855-05:002009-10-07T10:57:33.855-05:00Wow!!

Maybe you need to hire out Joe Z for the next attempt! He was pacing Brian Peterson who finished just ahead of you at Chippewa.<br /><br />Hope you are recovering well - for the next one! Unfortunately it looks like I'll be cancelling the NF race also... I need to just stop signing up for things!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015544399068863167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-15262670263818614132009-10-06T19:14:31.166-05:002009-10-06T19:14:31.166-05:00I really enjoyed your race report.

But in the meantime enjoy your marathoning and savor your very impressive finish time and finish stats.<br /><br />I hope your recovery goes well!<br /><br />Congratulations,<br />TammyRunner Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059758273238421216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-82912090818068981552009-10-06T18:04:33.969-05:002009-10-06T18:04:33.969-05:00I kept looking at the 3 hr pacing chart on my blac...I kept looking at the 3 hr pacing chart on my blackberry and compared it to real time. When I saw your jersey I knew you were right on 3, and not less. That is why I yelled so loud.<br /><br />At that point, you were only a few minutes behind Joe Z, Bryan P, Erik K, and John Akins. All pretty damn good runners.<br /><br />Storkamp had left everybody in the dust, and still had a smile.<br /><br />I was thinking racing 2 marathons so close would be tough. At least ultras you are not dealing with having to run so hard for so long.<br /><br />Hey, you beat Ann Heaslett. That's something to brag about. Although, she was passing people like they were standing still at 24. She didn't look the least bit in pain.Matthew Pattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007288639720357639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872122395581949681.post-39564886682458932882009-10-06T14:19:59.171-05:002009-10-06T14:19:59.171-05:00"That's still a hell of a run, Nic."...<i>"That's still a hell of a run, Nic."</i><br /><br />Teh Dad says it all.<br /><br />Great job, Nic.Glaven Q.
