Way to accept the DNF and move on!

That’s scary. And if there’s ever a reason to not finish a race, that would be it.
After my brick last Sunday (I have a race this Sunday), I experienced the same kind of thing. I made it through the bike and the run, but as soon as I stopped moving, I couldn’t move. I had to sit down right where I was, thought I would pass out or get sick or both, and it took a full 45 minutes and about 16 ounces of Gatorade to feel normal again.
Like you, I’m super careful about hydration all the time and I had no idea why I felt like that. Not fun.

I have been out of town for awhile, glad to see you back! :)

I hate to say it, but I used to get that way almost every time I would try to exercise. You have a great outlook on the DNF. You’ll be back soon enough and I know you’ll do well.

Like me you made the right decision by not pushing it and go on. It just wasn’t your day and there will be other races where you will do great.

Glad you listened to your body and stopped. Hopefully it was a one time thing and you’ll be good to go through your marathon training and beyond!
