Didn't come across a lot of advise on coping with a marathon aftermath, but trust mr, you can certainly do with one! The weeks of intense prep, endless 'crack of dawn' starts, fighting the grogginess and stiffness, the litany of aches and pains, all build up to a crescendo on the eve of the race. Its at fever pitch as seconds remain for the race to begin. The run itself remains in your memory as a blur; the fatigue leaves you able enough to just run, not strain your synapses to retain specific memories.
Once you cross the finish line, its an anti climax. You collect your medal and sit on the ground to much your fruits while not particularly thinking about anything. Then the thought of getting a transport back occupies your mind in case if you're not lucky enough to have a car waiting. And you come back and focus on tending to the inevitable aches and stiffness. So much for resting on your laurels!!!
