Run
Comments: Seeded myself in the 6 min mile group, so not too far back from start. This was my first run only race in sometime, Came into the race gunning for 6:30 - 6:45 per mile range. First half mile was kind of log jammed and a stroller person ran the wheel on my back heel. After about .5 mile, it cleared enough for me to reach my pacing. First 2 miles were solid, as i passed the 2 mile mark it read 13:40, so sitting at 6:50 miles at this point. I just kept pacing myself, had a kind of low moment between mile 2.5 - 3, got my breath back and still feeling good, at the 3 mile marker it read 20:47 - yuck 7 min mile between mile 2 & 3. Next 2 miles, especially last 1.5 I felt really stong. Finished at 33:47 (13 min flat last 2 miles - 6:30 avg). What would you do differently?: Know the course, didn't realize so many hills, although i felt strong and very pleased with outcome. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, grabbed a water, chatted with a few folks (jack & adam... from jack & adams bike shop) What limited your ability to perform faster: next year i want to hit 30 - 32 on this course. My AG winner was 26:59 Event comments: Nice way to start off turkey day. Last updated: 2007-11-21 12:00 AM

nice change from getting up around 4am for tri's. Up around 6am, 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter, coffee, water.
My IMAZ plan had 1hr min run plan. So since it was so cold out, i ran part of the course, 1.5 miles out and back.
