We have had heat warnings all week. It’s gets up to 40 Degrees Celsius in southern Ontario. My Ironman is getting closer so I decided to see if I could do 42km in this insanely hot weather. I lasted 34km before running out of liquid. I just needed 8 more km and it would have been a full marathon but I called it quits. I am proud of myself. I just cramped once, stopped and walked when my body told me to, and it was an overall good run.
Towards the end I was dead and walked a couple of miles but I accomplished a lot and I’m proud of myself. I kept the watch on even when going in to multiple convenient stores to stock up on Gatorade and to keep it as a competitive training exercise. 34km was completed in 3 hours and 40 minutes.
