But this is a new one, regarding the blood pressure dropping makes complete sense though and I was thinking that it was likely something like that already.<br /><br />According to Grace the worry for the CP crew was if I had hit my head but luckily I didn't, though I did hit my left knee and its still bothering me.<br /><br />I'm glad I finished it, even if it wasn't the time I had in mind.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192831124294919684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3817043647174552089.post-42835226333146017012017-08-16T12:43:35.434+01:002017-08-16T12:43:35.434+01:00When I saw your finishing time I knew things hadn&...When I saw your finishing time I knew things hadn't gone entirely to plan, but bloody hell!<br /><br />Respect for keeping going after passing out, though I know my own wife would have tied me down to stop me from leaving rather than making me go up and run!<br /><br />I occasionally feel dizzy when coming to a halt after many hours of running, that's quite common. The reason is your blood pressure drops. Your calf muscles actually help pumping blood back up and once you stop they stop which causes a dip in blood pressure, which can lead to passing out. I suspect that's what happened to you - not dangerous in itself, as long as you don't hit your head while falling.<br /><br />Well done for finishing regardless - another great story to tell by Mad Uncle Barry!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
