Comments: Overdressed. It was tough deciding what to wear. Temp was 44 when we left the house, so I put on a long sleeve Under Armour with a sleeveless dri-fit over the top. Should have put the sleeveless underneath - at three miles, I was too hot and had to take both shirts off in order to get down to just the sleeveless. Made the change while running, but it cost me a few seconds and disrupted my pace. My target pace was 8:30 - 8:45 and seemed to settle in nicely at 8:35 with about 151 bpm. At 10 miles I was feeling good enough to pick it up and started thinking about finishing sub 1:50 - missed it by 18 seconds. What would you do differently?: Not wear two layers unless it is really cold, and even then, put the heavy layer on top so it's easier to strip down to the light layer. ![]() Post race
Warm down: light stretching - compression socks What limited your ability to perform faster: The calf/ankle tightness that I noticed during warm up was noticeable throughout and got painful at times. Every couple of minutes my shin would just go numb, like a pinched nerve or something - I think it had to be related to whatever was going on with the high-ankle. Event comments: Fun race. Lots of spectators. Very well supported and organized. Last updated: 2012-04-11 12:00 AM
