When we said 'Go Deena!", we didn't mean go, Deena....

Ooops. When you're having gut problems the LAST thing you want to hear is people shouting "Go, go!" at you... and holding up signs that say "Go Deena, go!"

Yes, poor Deena Kastor had her bid to win Boston wrecked by gut problems. Reminiscent of Paul Radcliffe in the Olympic marathon, she wasted energy before the start hunting for a bathroom, and had to stop during the race as well. But it seems that Boston is better-organized than the Olympics and Deena was spared the indignity of having to squat at the side of the road... there are portaloos on the course.

This has happened to me in races... and it is not pleasant!

So what about the rest of you who ran at Boston? Let's hear about it!
