Got up and meet a few friends at LTF to drive down. Ate a bowl of oatmeal before leaving the house and took a water with me to sip on.

Comments:

This was an LT test for me. No taper. 20 mile easy ride the night before. Seeing as how I was lightheaded and dryheaving by mile 3, I'd say it was a good test.

Plan was to hammer the entire way (no pacing). I accomplished this.

First, the good:
- A PR. I'm not really training my LT systems since I'm training for Ironman. Lots of zone 2 stuff with some occasional zone 3/4. Given this, a PR is a nice to have.
- LT for last 3 miles was same as last 10k (but faster pace) so no change in HR zones.
- 2 of the miles where under 7 minutes. I'm very happy with this.

Now, the bad:
- Just disappointed with my running overall. Next year is going to be a run focused year. I've already laid out my schedule: 1 marathon, 2 1/2 marys, 4 10ks, 4 Olys and 2 sprints. I should get plenty good at LT and Tempo runs.

Under what circumstances would I not be disappointed with my running? I'll have to give this more thought. A sub 4 hour mary for starters. Maybe a sub 1:40 half. Maybe a sub 43 10K.

Event comments:

New finish line worked better IMHO. Band was a little loud but the organization from the finish line to the family meeting area was top notch.
