I've tried throwing one up really high (8), gulp some water, catch the ball and keep going but I'm not that good...yet. Brian,

Yes, I have to stop at the water stops, gulp some water, start juggling and then start running again.

I’ve tried throwing one up really high (8), gulp some water, catch the ball and keep going but I’m not that good…yet.

That is so true about getting caught in the lines for gear check (or the bathroom). Thanks! Great additions redrun7!

Getting stuck in the gear check queue until two minutes before the race begins. My heart rate was 165 with stress, and I wasn't even running. 15. Ducking and diving wildly whilst trying to hold pace amidst a congested and twisty first mile through Chicago's city streets. I did that one myself - if you get held up at the start (which is almost certain, back in the pack) it's always best to relax and use it as an opportunity to reach race pace slowly. Easy to say, but hard to do. 16. Drinking too much fluid in the last two hours before the race. A brief detour into Lincoln Park solves that one, but it won't help your time. 17. Nearly accepting a beer which was offered at mile 23 when the wheels had already come off. It's best to stick to Gatorade and drink beer later, however slow you're running. At least I got that one right in the end, although it was a very close call ... 14. Getting stuck in the gear check queue until two minutes before the race begins.
