Changes

* '''[[Nausea]]'''. I had no nausea, which is great. I didn't run far or hard, but it's still nice that there were no problems. I did have slight nausea when I got too hot working too close to the fire they have burning, but that's not surprising. * '''The usual gear'''. All my usual gear worked well, including [[Fellrnr%27s Go Juice| Go Juice]], [[Under Armor Heat Gear Top]], [[Race Ready Shorts and Tights| Race Ready Shorts]], [[Best Running MP3 Player| MP3 player]], [[Best Running Watch| Garmin 310XT]], etc., all performed flawlessly. * '''Hokas'''. My Hokas did well, though I had the upper tear on my previous pair, so I had to order a replacement pair this week. Running in [[Shoes]] that only had 15 miles on them was not idea, but it seemed to work out.

* I used a [http://www.amazon.com/Caravan-Canopy-Reclining-Adjustable-Headrest/dp/B0032UY0BK reclining "zero gravity" chair] which worked wonderfully. It allowed me to raise the runners' feet so I could work on them without crawling on the floor. More importantly, the shape kept their hips and knees gently bent which prevented them cramping. Next time I may put a blanket on the chair below the runner to keep them warmer. * There were more people running in [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka shoes]], and I found a distinct pattern of blisters that was occurring due to the tight toe box. I'll write up some notes on my [[Blister Prevention| blister prevention]] page soon. * The race had a separate cabin set up for runners who had finished the race, making things much more manageable in the medical area. * I was not set up or prepared for post-race dressings. Intact blisters are easy as you tell folks to leave them alone, but for open wounds probably need dressing. * I'd like to get a better understanding what's working and what's not for different types of blister, so I may setup a feedback mechanism.
