I got it runnning the LA Marathon. Usually I would only drink a couple of times during my long runs during training, but at the marathon water was available every mile. Stupidly I drank too much ( 4 oz every 6:30 or so) and could not run after 17 miles despite not being sore or tired. Something just wasn't working properly.
I found out later that year that drinking too much water dilutes your electrolytes causing nerves to function poorly. Fortunately my problem was minor, only a frustrating day at the races.
