Santa Barbara Marathon Recap

Race Recaps

FacebookTweetPin
10 Nov

It wasn’t easy, but I did it. Marathon #6 is done. santa barbara international marathonAnd I’m retiring.

First let’s back up to the lovely Motel 6 we stayed at in Carpentaria. The door had been kicked in at one point… Fancy.IMG_9056 (800x600)

The Santa Barbara full Marathon started at 7:30am so the wake-up call wasn’t too bad. I laid out all my stuff and got ready. running gear

Pre-marathon meal = A banana and a Picky Bar – the company sent me a few samples to try. Normally I have toast, but I forgot to make a PB&J for the morning.picky bar

Margarita Shot Blocks. My new fuel strategy for the marathon is to eat every 5 miles – 5, 10, 15, 20 (in case you didn’t know how that worked)cliff shot blocks

And I filled up my water bottles with beer. I mean, tea flavored Nuunbeer or nuun

It’s a point to point course so while Ben drove me to the start I started to freak out about my shoe choice. I brought my go-to Brooks Ghost, but when I grabbed them yesterday they looked too worn down to run 26 miles.

get it together

So, I also grabbed my Brooks PureProject Flows just in case I wanted to wear those…

IMG_9073 (800x600)

Well, I grabbed my Ghosts for some further inspection and realized…

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PAIR!!!

brooks ghost running shoes

See? From the top the look the same…

From the bottom it’s obvious they are not from the same pair AND the ones on the right are beyond worn.brooks ghost running shoes

So, I while I LOVE my Pure Flows I usually only wear them for 8 miles max. But, I had no choice and they were along for the 26 mile ride.

There was a bit of a disaster yesterday when we couldn’t get Ben’s car out of the shop in time. Blah blah <insert freak out because I can’t get my bib in time> blah.

Luckily, Sheila (Striding Mom) randomly messaged me right around my freak out Friday and hooked me up with Kate from Run with Kate. She was running the SBIM too and could pick up my bib!

LIFE.SAVER. Thank you so so much Kate.

The Santa Barbara Marathon was very well organized and the porta potty lines were short. What more can you ask for?

santa barbara marathon start

The start was delayed about 15 minutes, but they announced it right away and that was the only hitch with the day.

Okay, here’s my detailed mile by mile Race Recap…

Mile 1: I felt okay, went out a little too fast (like always) but just tried to relax and keep my head positive.

Mile 2: Not really. This is boring. Plus, I don’t get how people remember how they felt at each mile?!

Wait – I do remember is there was a HUGE hill at mile 23 and I told myself the whole race I could walk that hill (I had been warned about it).

Luckily, at Mile 23 I felt so great I didn’t need to walk. Ha! Kidding!! Not at all. I walked that ish unapologetically. Boom.

Santa Barbara Marathon Race Review

Oh, but it’s so painful. Marathons are rough. I’m here to officially announce my retirement.

retired marathoner

Overall, I would give this race two stinky sneakers up! The location is gorgeous, it’s a nice sized race – not too big or small and the finish is across the street from the beach!

So, we walked across the street to the Pacific Ocean and I peeled off my disgusting clothes…

Ben surprised me with some Pumpkin Bread, but I only had a bite.

IMG_9106 (800x600)

Yelp helped again and we ended up at D’Angelo’s Pastry & Bread for brunch/lunch/post-race meal time (it was almost 1pm by this point)

Egg white omelet and toast for me…

what to eat after the santa barbara marathon

Ben got the Sunshine Toast with poached eggs.

Then, we walked around Downtown Santa Barbararunning in santa barbara

IMG_9113 (600x800)

I got a Chocolate Chip cookie from D’Angelo’s because it’s the right thing to do.

IMG_9114 (800x600)

It was good and had a good amount of chocolate chips, but it was too thin. I like my cookies thick!

cookies are my victory dance

Now I’m driving home. I’m kinda craving an epic hamburger or something for dinner?! What are you having?

      Congrats on the PR! Glad you were able to find another marathon to run since NYM didn’t happen. I am training for my first marathon, and I already agree that the marathon is so much harder on the body! Not sure if I will run too many of them either, but I thought it was worth at least one try, right?!?

      Thick chocolate chip cookies are definitely better than thin! Congrats on completing your 6th marathon that is awesome! And what better way to end a race than a walk on the beach/dip in the water? I bet the views were awesomely scenic which must have made for some beautiful running. Definitely don’t blame you for retiring after #6 though!

      Congrats on your #6 Marathon…AND on your PR…AND for being awesome! I completely agree with you; full marathons are just too far (in my opinion and I’ve only done two) thus I’d prefer to participate in a half marathon any day.

      And when you DO the NYC marathon, it will be #7. Finishing on Lucky #7, I think that would be fantastic.

I went slow and enjoyed myself and really it was a new experience. Slow time (4:13) but the most fun Ive had and Im not wrecked today! Im begining to see that racing a marathon and running one are 2 diffrent things…so dont retire just yet (<;

      That hill was a jerk, but I felt so close at that point that I just kept telling myself “make it to the top!! It will be over soon!!!” and thankfully it was!!!

      See, I think I got the bug running this marathon…I can’t wait to do another 🙂 But they ARE exhausting. Recovery from halfs goes by way faster.

        I think I just had a good day. I never know how I’m going to feel on race day and I’ve been 100% prepared for races and totally tanked just because my body wasn’t feeling it. But, I felt good and made sure to fuel. I think the fueling every 5 kept me from hitting the wall again.

      I definitely feel ya on the retiring from full marathons! I ran my 5th about a month ago and walked away feeling accomplished, but tired. I am a full time teacher and some days I just don’t have the motivation it takes to get up at 4 AM or run 10 miles after school. The half is a much more manageable distance. I am signed up for Grandma’s Marathon in June. I told myself that if by March I am not feeling it, I would switch races.

      (I ask because of your meal after being pretty normal – omelet/toast/cookie.. so I’m wondering if you just eat whatever and don’t notice a difference whether you’ve just run a marathon or haven’t run in a week)

      Hey so question about post-run food. I’ve been experimenting in the last few weeks with eating different foods during the day before my runs and then post run/work out meals and I’ve been trying to feel how my body is with different foods. I’ve noticed significant differences when I eat proteins that aren’t from animals, lots of veggies, and some grainier or oat carbs.. i’ve heard the whole “clean eating” shpiel and I think it’s all great but for me I really have to notice a difference in energy levels, running ability, and body changes. My question for you is, have you noticed differences in your body with having a different daily diet when it comes to your running? Especially after a marathon? I’ve never run a marathon but what foods do you feel best eating after 4 hours of running? Can anyone else speak to this??

      Reply
      • runeatrepeat says

        2012-11-11 at 7:00 am

        I have never really changed up my diet enough to be able to gauge this. You mean – eating super clean versus how I eat now, right?

        Before the race:
        I have actually been trying to avoid soy for a few months now because of my thyroid, but always eat a lot of veggies – so that’s all the same. I ate a little less sweets this week (but didn’t start that until Tuesday) so I did not feel a difference during the race.

        I always eat salty carbs before a race – that’s key for my body, but everyone is different.

        After the race:
        After running for 4 hours my body feels wrecked. I’m usually not very hungry and just kinda thirsty and nauseous. I try to eat something with protein and carbs because it’s important for recovery, but that could be a veggie omelet with toast OR chocolate milk OR a bagel and a yogurt. I don’t ‘eat clean’ after a race because it’s party time and because I have never noticed a big difference. Plus, after running 4 hours I refuse to make myself eat something just for recovery.

        Hope that helps – let me know if you have more questions 🙂

      Question. Why are you done with marathons? I mean I get it. I ran one and it was U-gly! Trained perfectly and finished in just over 5 excruciating hours. Like, if my husband hadn’t been running with me I’d have crawled of the course crying. But for you to have had such a great time, what happened? No judgement, just curious.

        My immediate reaction when reading you ask, “Why are you done with marathons?” was – “because I feel wrecked.”

        I feel like I LOVE running and I LOVE training but right around mile 20 the love isn’t as strong. And I kinda feel like marathons do more damage to my body than good. So, it’s a great accomplishment but running a half marathon makes me want to smile, eat, tell jokes and go to the mall while running a full makes me want to sit on the curb and stare off in the distance… Doesn’t that even make sense? Bah. I’m tired 🙂

          Rest up. I am making this happen. In fact, we will make up our own RER sponsorship team. As long as you are ok with crashing on couches and traveling to New York via bus. Fancy, huh.

            I do really really still want to run NY. I may not be able to next year 😉 But, I want my true “Grand Finale” to be in NY. Maybe 2014??

              I think I figured out what that wink meant 🙂 But I agree-go out with a bang in NYC!

          Yep, totally get it. I decided a half is as far as I wanna go anymore and a 10K is my happy place….

      Haha, nice retirement announcement. Very blasé. Makes me think there’s a chance you didn’t mean it…

      Congratulations on your PR!

      Also, I wanted to ask, what kind of sunglasses are you wearing? I like them!

        Target Iron Man for the running and I think Target women’s for the casual ones I wear…

      Monica , CONGRATS. That’s huge – and you looked super cute in your outfit doing it too!

      Are you serious about not doing any more marathons?

      It has been so inspiring to see your running journey. Enjoy this and congrats!

      Congratulations on the PR! And I totally agree with that chocolate sign. No quitters here!

      I had a baked potato with butter and sour cream for dinner. Boring, but good!

      Congratulations! What a great time and a super PR! That hill at Mile 23 is pretty brutal. Not that I have ran it but I drove it when I was there last month and it is no joke!

      Congrats on your PR! I PR’d too in a way — 4:02:39.5 for my first marathon! I looked for you (and Kate) at the race but did not have good luck.
