Congrats Oakleaf! How exciting! You just did what I hope to do - A half marathon at 11/min per mile or less (hoping to train myself to do 10min per mile at that distance).

Wow, 48 ounces in 10 miles. Did you feel "sloshy"? I'm also curious to know if you consumed any calories during the run? At 80 minutes, I was hungry. Not ready-to-bonk hungry, but ready-to-eat-breakfast hungry, for sure. I started at 5:45 a.m., on nothing but a Gu about 15 minutes pre-run. My bottle just had plain water, of which I probably only consumed 10 ounces about 45 minutes in.

I think I'll have to start experimenting with gels at about 45-60 minutes as my runs get longer. 90 minutes in probably my limit with no nutrition. I have a friend who runs 5 hour marathons on nothing but water, but there is no way I could ever do that!
