I just know that I have spoken with several athletes who have confirmed the existance of the "I was going so hard my teeth hurt" phenomenon. I honestly have no idea what causes it; lactic acid was just a guess.Lindsay Hall-Stechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610922530479256952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179951188120392834.post-80558481810764314912008-05-04T21:20:00.000-04:002008-05-04T21:20:00.000-04:00Lindsay,Having a limited medical background and a ...Lindsay,<BR/><BR/>Having a limited medical background and a limited biology background and having google at my side, I don't think you can build up lactic acid in your throat and gums. Lactic acid is a waste product of muscle cellular respiration. Your gums and throat don't utilize enough ATP to cause any lactic acid build up.<BR/><BR/>I might guess you were experiencing some effects of GERD. GERD is not something you want to dismiss and I would suggest you see your family physican promptly as the long term affects can be devastating. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Matt Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429625291768957148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179951188120392834.post-5629511079927863462008-05-04T11:39:00.000-04:002008-05-04T11:39:00.000-04:00Lindsay,You finished WAAAAY faster this year than ...Lindsay,<BR/>You finished WAAAAY faster this year than last, so you have made progress! Focus on that, and use this race as motivation to get you through this next tough training block.
