Why another no more than two months? Because what would be the culmination of a preparation has been conducted smoothly take place.
In fact, I had prepared myself for the marathon of Blaye, 18 May, although the last two weeks of preparation had been disrupted by the summer exams, I felt ready.
So I took up my quarters in Bordeaux, from Thursday evening to be in top form on Sunday morning.
My companion, feeling concerned, I had prepared all sorts of dishes in favor of running: Carbohydrates of all kinds, cereals, ...
But suddenly, on Friday night, the temptation! Tired of remaining cells, and the regime pasta-rice "we took the desire to go dinner outside.
We went to the "best Italian restaurant in Bordeaux, and J-2, I in a burst of great wisdom, decided not to eat a pizza in favor of pasta with tuna.
At first, the pasta was very good ...
The next day I wake up smeared on the shot I told myself that this must come from the stress of the first marathon, I decided to go for a walk in the park nearby . Back from walking, a slight feeling of weakness is felt. I decided to give up lunch while waiting for a better digestive discomfort. Around 13h
I vomited once, I say "ah, at least it happened, the machine is distributed.
With that, hop, Blaye direction to pick up my bib.
The trip is a test, it's raining downpour, visibility is zero, and above all I feel awful, I cup increasingly on the seat, all I want to be lengthened.
After 60km ride, I can not go, I stop on the roadside to give the wheel to my girlfriend, I leave my car and that's when I realized my status: I was unable to walk more than two feet, dizzy! I in a state of extreme weakness, I felt good about that lying down!
My girlfriend decided to go for help, we arrive at Blaye and found some members of the organization that are panicked (I was taken at this time of tremors), and thought that I 'were doing a heart attack (and I told myself that "a heart attack in 20 years? Anything")
I finished up being transported to the hospital or Blaye I stayed more than 5 hours , making a battery of tests of all kinds, and all vomiting the 15minutes.
examinations has not concluded stomach problems (thank you I noticed:)).
Although I still felt extremely weak, I took the unilateral decision to leave (yes, yes, I feel I can go ... ") to regain my bed or I'll necessarily better than the discomfort of a hospital bed.
3 days after I was able to run again, even if I lost a lot of forces in history, the balance on Monday indicated 70kgs!
Morality: I have done better to eat a good pizza!
Beyond "disorders stomach, "I was especially frustrated that he could accomplish what should be the culmination of a long preparation, and especially to face the remonstrances family who blame the failure to practice excessive running! Which is totally unfounded since the week before the marathon, I had virtually no run, and this from a perspective of recovery!
Besides talking with a doctor friend, the "gastric disorder" could have been caused by a sudden change in my lifestyle, the fact that he had not raced for almost one week and suddenly eating healthier foods!
That's what kept me from writing here, this page reminded me of the frustration, the unfinished dream.
After resuming the training, doing 3 races since then (which will be a report), I removed this disappointment, and I'm ready to rewrite here.
