At the end of January I ran the all underground 10K cave run again. I do this race mostly to keep me running through the cold months when I don’t feel like doing anything. It works for me.
I was ready for 6 miles, but I am sure there was something in the caves that made me sick. During the last mile I felt just awful. I had to stop and walk because I thought I was going to pass out. I was running with a lady that said she felt the same way. She was used to running 5 miles a day and she was having a really hard time. A guy in front of me DID pass out and they were loading him into the ambulance when I passed him.
Anyway, I still beat my time by 4 minutes which made me happy. That afternoon I felt so sick we thought about going to the ER. I was scared I had some kind of carbon monoxide poisoning or something. Eventually that night it went away and I felt fine again.
Sooooo, it was a great experience. Next year I think I will go cheer on the others and not run.
