Drink plenty of water before training!
... I know this; I really do. But for what ever reason, I just didn't today. The results were really bad, too. This was the first regular class I've been able to make in over 2 weeks, but I had been training, so I wasn't expecting to gas too badly. I figured out pretty early on that I really didn't drink enough by about 200 meters into the run, though. You know that pasty coating you get in your mouth 2/3s of the way through a guelling run? I had it before I got to the top of Brittny Hill. I was actually looking forward to the calistenics part of class! So, of course, we didn't do calistenics... We wheel barrow walked up a fight of steps 2 times then spider crawled down then 2 times. Well, the rest of the class did. I never made all 3 landings either time on the way up, and the way down looked more like a sack of taters sliding down the hill. My shins are killing me...
The moral of this tale?
Drink Your **** Water!
