When running long run....

I am training for marathon.....been running 40-50 miles a week for most of the year. I have run a couple of 20 milers without issue in the last month. Yesterday I did 22 miles.....I noticed for the first time.....about 15-16 miles in parts of the inside part of my fingers and hand we turning white.....they were really dry too....and it was just around the joints and the veins in the hands....itched a little. I know I run with my hands elevated, so guess it is a circulation thing.

I drank plenty on the run....or at least my normal amount and had Gu's along the way too.

An hour of so after my run, my hands were back to normal. This was the first time this has happened to me.....it was wierd. Was just curious if anyone else has experienced this and if I should be concerned. Thanks.
