[quote=Anonymous]I may have missed this but it seems that you might be running holding a water bottle rather than having it in a belt? Even in a holster holding a water bottle for that long of a run is most likely impeding your form and your balance. And definitely adding frontal resistance. Whether or not to carry water during a race is purely a personal preference. Unless it's really hot I just drink what I need at the aid stations. You should consider moving your water to a belt or Camelback. I suspect you will feel much more comfortable and will improve your pace. GU can work great for long runs but make sure you train with exactly what you plan to take in at the race. Some folks can't handle any or too much of it and will have GI issues. Good luck.[/quote]
