How many times do you grab water during a 5k 10K and Marathon. In the past I thought it slowed me down, but now I usually get a second wind by just splashing water on my face and mouth. What about you?

Roc, Depends (and I am not wearing them yet!) on enviormental factors. 5/10K under good cool and moist usually no h2o. It all depends on what my asthma is doing that day. But a little splash makes a big difference. Do you notice that you pass all the people that pass you during the water stop? I always did. Now beer during a race that's another discussion.
Your funny. I've know some elite's to come to a stand still drink 2-6oz and hammer back to the front pack. of course you can't do that in a 5K.....20secs break and you have little chance in catching the leaders.

If the fielsd is weak in a 5K you may be able to get back. And we all know people that look for small non-competitive races. My old training partner would follow one of our rivals to all of his 'big' races just to kick his ass. And he would stop and drink.
