Ran the Spectrum 10k. Did one mile of warm up. Time of 37:16. I really felt good and was pleased with the race. Considering I've felt horrible all week. I should have pushed harder the last mile...I just felt like I was going to throw up if I pushed it harder than the pace I was going. I think I need to do some speed work. This vomiting thing happens too often at races. Speed work would help my body get use to pushing it that hard...I don't konw?

I biked a total of 16 miles this week. So I'll add 4 easy mies to my week total.

Clyde:

Good job on the race. This throw-up feeling is actually fairly normal. It means you are good at pushing yourself. I experience it often in good races. Lasse Viren threw up after winning the Olympic 5000 meter race. However, speed work will still be beneficial, but be careful to not get injured.

Did you have any warm-up or cool-down? Your mileage is recored as if you did not.

Clyde, Way to go on Sat. A low 37 is something to be proud of.

Concerning your thow-up fellings - I think re-training your stomach/digestive system to handle racing will come with a little more training/ speed work and possibly diet. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's good to know that you're able to atleast push your body to that point. Have you tried anything to settle your stomach - Ginger, Tums, etc. before a race?

I've never tried anything to settle my stomach. You'll have to fill me in on the Ginger? How and when to take. Is this part of the magic juice mix?
