Thank you! Yeah we analyzed what happened - most likely it was dehydration / lack of salt. It was warmer than usual - I drank water rather than sportsdrink with electrolytes and was only able to use my salt tabs for +/- first 18km (they fell on the ground). After the finish my whole face was covered in salt and I nearly fainted so big chance this was atleast one of the attributing factors.
What kind of injury are you recovering from?

Ah yes, definitely sounds like dehydration was a factor then... sounds like you well aware of the solutions in order to prepare for the next event :-)
I've had a groin/hip adductor issue for a few months now, it appeared last November .I've spent the last 3 months with rest and physio treatment and stretching and strength exercises, and I am now finally on the mend (fingers crossed). Looking forward to finally getting back into a more normal training routine... and I already have a Half-marathon booked on October later this year!
