Perhaps some more calories earlier in the race would have helped? Were you taking in liquid calories too? How was your pre-hydration? Since the first 100 miles or so went well, I'd say you had the recovery as well as the fitness, but needed some help with your thermostat. That is usually food and hydration related, I think. Either way, ya done good! Definitely neither whiney nor a little bitch! Perhaps some more calories earlier in the race would have helped? Were you taking in liquid calories too?

Quit being so hard on yourself. You are awesome. (As the cute little kid put it, "[You are] doing something other kids can't do!")
