I stupidly forgot to eat lunch – it was busy at work! – but I had been hydrating. Had a banana and peanut butter before we left for the 6 PM start. Finished Mile 1 and my heart rate was in the 180/190 range and I was getting nauseous. Took a while walking to get my heart rate down. Powered through the ramps and the rest of the course. After the finish you have to climb a huge set of stairs to get back to the parking lot. I had to stop halfway up because I was getting the chills and dizzy. Not very smart on my part!! I’ve since discovered Nuun. I’ll also bring a water bottle next year because there was only 1 water stop.

Thanks for the tip, I’m totally looking into the CamelBak! I’ve heard good things. I can deal with the fuel belt, but it’s really not the most comfortable thing in the world, so I’m always open to new options. :)

I too hate the treadmill and will run in 100 degree temps before I get on that bad boy. Last year I had a run much like this one.
I never really carried water with my because I hate those stupid fuel belts bouncing everywhere. I invested in a CamelBak Dart, was afraid I’d hate it and it would bug me, and instead it has become my summer running savior.

It was definitely not a fun experience. I think I am just NOT a summer runner, period, and maybe I should stop being a baby and deal with the treadmill on days like yesterday! You’ve definitely got the right idea!

I figured water fountains at the park would be OK just for that day…WRONG!!! Learned my lesson, for sure. Won’t make that mistake ever, EVER again!

Glad you were able to get home and drink up and cool down.

Glad you’re OK though. I know for a fact that I melt in heat, and after living up north for 15 years, I will readily admit Texas summers are too much for me. I am inside for the whole summer where I can enjoy some AC. I made peace with the treadmill for that reason.

Glad you made the choice to cut it short…I think I made that decision just a bit too late. It was horrible. When it comes to these kinds of temperatures, we all just need to do what we can and be smart…something that I was definitely not yesterday! I learned an important lesson, that’s for sure!

Ah, that sounds awful, glad you were okay! It’s just so easy to become over-heated. I know exactly what you mean. Running makes you feel strong and tough and able to push past physical discomfort, which is great, but I know I need to be smarter about keeping myself out of harm’s way when it comes to training in these temperatures. It was NOT FUN!
