Last week I had to be rescued for the first time ever while trail running (in a different state, I got lost!). I learned lots from that. When I DNF'd a 50k due to heat exhaustion last year, I was devastated. I was physically (& mentally) sick for days! But I think I learned more about myself on that day than on any day ever. Sad but true. I am happy that you learned so much from your DNF. Running in the heat can suck.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538884619777387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-31104949933567188812011-07-18T12:02:25.575-07:002011-07-18T12:02:25.575-07:00I hate heat.

Someday I hope to not have to race in it ever again, just use training in it to make me stronger for the fall.<br /><br />Have a great time this weekend!

I am a champion in talking myself out of things, and my husband would definitely not be the one to talk me back in. He'd be all about me quitting. I'd need one of my racing friends--who <i>get it</i> there. <br /><br />I'd say you're talking a DNF in something that most people could only dream of doing way too hard...except I've been moaning and groaning and second-guessing decisions I made in a recent little bike race and have no room to talk. Good luck in the next one!Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-18056008951840794262011-07-15T09:44:23.990-07:002011-07-15T09:44:23.990-07:00Nice analysis - talking wives are definitely good,...Nice analysis - talking wives are definitely good, too ;-) You still doing PPM and Lean Horse - a little wild west tour?HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.com
