I'm not sure how I got through the marathon unscathed Ludo, given I experienced pain after only a mile the day before. It may have been a combination of a few things: foam rolling my legs to death a couple hours before the marathon, 3 tylenol taken 15 minutes before the start of the race, feeding off the positive energy from the crowd, the sheer adrenaline of being in the race, maintaining good electrolyte hydrationand gu intake, running the best form I possibly could, maintaining perfect pace, and without any sudden stops or sprints.
