Tuesdays on the Run: DNS/DNF

12/15/2015

3 Comments

 
​Another Tuesday, another Tuesday on the Run hosted by our favorites: 
Erika from MCM Mama Runs, Marcia from Marcia's Healthy Slice and Patty from No-Guilt Life.This week's topic is Did Not Starts/Did Not Finish. 

I have, *knock on wood*, never had a DNS or DNF. 

I have been lucky to never have serious injuries that have kept me from running. My first race I've ever done, the 2010 DL half, I had IT band issues and then Wine and Dine Half Marathon and Inaugural Avengers Half, I had sciatica/piriformis syndrome. Even though I had to slow down, I was able to finish. 

I am very intentional with my race schedule-I vary rarely travel for races so since most of them are local, I'm able to do them. Even though this year has been crazy with 30 races, I was able to fit everything in. 

The closest I came to a DNF was the 2015 LA Marathon. I was in pain with the heat and crazy weather and I was forced to walk at mile 20. As I was walking it in, I never saw a med tent because I think if I have, I would have stopped. I am glad I finished that race and I definitely learned a lot about warm weather pacing  and know I need to slow down and decrease my interval. I was able to show that with a hot long beach marathon and a new PR and even the NYCM was very humid.


How about you? Have you ever DNS or DNF?

As much as it stinks not seeing a med tent when you needed one. Maybe it was meant to be. Bc like you said if there was one available to you, you may have checked out early. Good job with pushing thru and completing the race.

I hope your good luck continues to hold! I had my first injury-based DNS this year when I broke my foot hiking. :-(

Heat totally unravels me as well. Racing strategy needs to be SO different for me to handle it, and even then it's challenging. Thanks for linking up!
