Early this morning Simone lovingly massaged my metatarsals after some ultrasound treatment, then applied corticoids through cataphoresis again. By the time all this was done it was already 8:30am - not enough time left to run a marathon.
And it might as well have been late because even the gel pads are tempting blisters to show up... I stopped after 16 comfortable miles and 4000 feet of elevation gain and loss (3 hours). Nutrition went like clockwork but was still on the light side: 800 calories and 12 Endurolytes; 2 liters of water. Happy kidneys, happy stomach. Heart still a bit too fast. And a hot spot on the right foot, where a blister threatens.
Bottom line: will have to play with the placement of the pad, and learn how to deal with blisters during the race. Another variable to manage!
Will we go for 26.2 miles on Monday? Stay posted...
