Okay, it wasn’t terrible, but I did have stomach troubles for the first time on a run. Thankfully, it happened at the track, where a nice bathroom was never more than a few hundred yards away.
Not sure what caused it: going out too fast; eating a big, late lunch; or possibly the after effects of overindulging and eating like crap for three days? Probably the latter. But I knew something was wrong by the second lap of our time trial. Normally, I’d do three miles. Tonight, I could barely manage two. I had a decent time of 18:48, but have no way to measure that against my first time trial of the season.
Oh well, the experience of dealing with pretty bad stomach cramps while running was probably more valuable in the long run (no pun intended) than another time trial and another set of numbers to crunch.
