At the end of one 70.3 I dashed past a man running in to greet his family shedding disgrace upon him and his family. j/k.
For example when I run a mile, the third lap is what sucks, not the first, where I'm hyper, or the second when I've cooled down, but the third lap before the last one.

When I am running for time it's always the end that hurts the worst. I try and get a nice kick in, but feel like my feet are in cement. This is usually accompanied by the urge to vomit which lasts for several minutes afterward.
