Keep at it!

]]> Comment on Coastal Trail Series, Sussex Marathon: Race Report by Paul McCarty http://ultrarunnergirl.com/2011/03/27/coastal-trail-series-sussex-marathon-race-report/#comment-418 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:12:39 +0000 http://ultrarunnergirl.com/?p=415#comment-418 Steph

I was trawling the net, looking at ultra running stuff and I came across your site and I see I am mentioned in one of your reports.

I remember the agony of those hills, the cramps and running out of fluids. Oh and you would have definately got dysentery if you drank the water.

Apologies for not speaking to you after the race, I was in a world of pain. Never again will I try out a new pair of insoles on a marathon.
I did however manage to get some good racing in last year with the highlight being the 104 mile South Downs Way. It gave me four points towards the UTMB. And by some miracle, as the entry was mega over subscribed I have secured entry in to this years event, cannot wait! Chamonix here I come!

Congratulation on winning the racing the planet Nepal race. Outstanding!

Take Care and if you are ever back over in the UK and need advice on what not to drink let me know

Paul

(Steve mentioned some of the other “do’s” i was going to add :) ). It was a pleasure running with you. I think you have mastered one of the most important rules of (enjoyable) trail running: the SMILE! It is amazing what a difference a smile can make, for yourself and for others. No matter how awful you are feeling, i have found that a smile from someone else can give you a boost of energy as well as put one on your face — which can give you just that extra bit of positive energy that you need to overcome your present hurdle. Hope to run with you again sometime!

Thanks for adding them. And you’re right that I was running with Shannon – the formidable Jessi was much too far ahead! :)

Watchung is my backyard! Grateful it is there. Rick and Jen from NJ Trail Series do a great job directing local NJ trail races. You were probably running with either Shannon or Jessi, two of our locals & awesome company on the trail as are all other trailrunners.

In addition to all your great comments, a few more “do’s” …

DO stop and pick up any gel packs or race trash you see on the ground and put it in your pocket. It wont hurt your overall time.

DO shout out if you see someone ahead of you making a wrong turn. Its only fair and you would want the same in return.

DO thank the hikers / walkers on the trail who graciously step aside for you to continue on your race. We share trail…

DO stick around to cheer on the back of the pack. They help pay for this and are working hard to achieve their personal win…

I’m building up to it.
