Your stomach issues sound like NOT ENOUGH sodium, vs too much. I've had some GI issues on Leona myself and its not a fun feeling. Good work in getting through it while overcoming such challenges.

The two times that I saw you, you looked like you were hanging in there and running well - so good job trucking along despite your discomfort. <br /><br />The heat downright sucked (my stomach was also unhappy with me, although I didn't experience any reversals). Crossing that finish line is all that matters at the end of the day. <br /><br />Congratulations on getting your AC qualifier in! Rest up & recover well.
