I can't quite put my finger on why it does not happen as much anymore. I assume part of it, is just becoming accustom to longer distances. I did learn at one point that taking non-tylenol can typically upset a stomach whereas tylenol will not. So once I switched from motrin to tylenol for any post race (or long run) aches, that helped. Maybe also real food during the race? I can definitely say that I had better post-race GI outcomes when I had someone hand me off a pbj during a race than not, but I couldn't say for sure that's it. <br /><br />Sounds like you had a great first half!!
