If you were then you could have run even better (as hard as that is to believe given how well you did run). If you listen to the lastest podcast, I think I talk about the "skill" part? I have actually been thinking about you when discussing this strategy for Ironman, do you have your Garmin file from IMLou?

Drank 1 cup of gatorade and 1 cup of coke. Then started running... and I ran whatever pace was required to get my average back to 8:37... generally a 100 yards to get back onto my pace plan. Was that a run/walk strategy? Or more likely a Run/Stand strategy? What do you think of that? Alan At IM Louisville I stopped at every single aid station. Drank 1 cup of gatorade and 1 cup of coke.

What do you think of that?

Last weekend's 50K was the first long run in a few years that I didn't use it and the last five miles were a dreadful experience. An experience that I hadn't had in a few years. Very unlike last year's LBL 60K where I cranked out 7:30/mile for the last few miles and picked up several positions. And recovery? With r:w, it's huge! Last Sunday I could barely move, which was a huge change from previous longer (60K/70K) races/runs, where I was tired and definitely not fresh, but certainly not sore.
