Run
Comments: Well...I wanted to go under 2 hours. I went out with a 2 hour pacer and stayed with him for the first 10 miles. Then I just could not keep up. I fell back to the 8min/mile pace group. Then I tried to speed up to catch up to the 2 hour group. Bad idea. My legs were toast by mile 12. I walked a few times. Came in a whole second faster than last year. What would you do differently?: More fast running at the end of my long runs in training. Go out slower (See previous race reports, I see a trend here) and try to go for negative splits. Post race
Warm down: Just walked through the food area, eating a little bit of everything. What limited your ability to perform faster: I am not as fast as I want to be. I worked 16 out of 20 night shifts up until 2 days before the race. I felt like I was racing at midnight. But, that is my reality, and it is no excuse. Event comments: I will likely keep trying to break 2 hours until I die trying. Last updated: 2010-02-03 12:00 AM
