It seems like athletes like to hear about their coach in tough times as well from time to time. I had a painful reminder on Saturday at the 5 Peaks Trail Race. Currently now one of the most difficult/painful races i have done in recent memory. Kamren of 5 Peaks certainly out did himeself this time. Anyway, race was fun competitive and in the end very satisfying. Post race i got focused on the eating and for some reason did not hit the water station. We spent the next 2 hours post, a hard 1 hour race sitting out in the sun. To shortern the story, finally got home, from there, the kids bike riding and soccer etc quickly takes the mind of post recovery or next days pre worokout prep. Sunday morning came and outside of cute smiles and special gifts it was a very long miserable Fathers Day, not needing to go to the bathroom while drinking water over the day and being cooled off from the heat with cold chills made the problem very obvious, as pointed out numerous times by my lovely wife. Major dehydration, maybe a touch of heat stroke, eliminated any big plans for sunday. So take care of yourself pre and post races. Whether its to have a play day at home or harder yet, get prepared for another IM workout, carelessness can quickly take its toll on the body.
