A hearty thanks to those of you who replied to my inquiry about drinking while running. I took your advice and for the first time drank water during while racing. Even though it was only 20 degrees and started to snow half-way through the race, I knew that catching snowflakes on my tongue wouldn't be enough, so I grabbeded water from two stations and managed to get most of it down while running. I finished in 1:36:40, 4 mins ahead of my goal. I was thrilled never having raced anything longer than 10K. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
