Subject: RE: Racing an IM with your spouseDid an IM/HIM combo earlier this month with my wife (first IM for me, first HIM for her )...we passed each other on the course almost exactly where I predicted. There's no good way to predict up front unless you have a solid sense of what your pace is likely to be throughout (and expected transition times )...if you do, then it's pretty much just math. In our case, I missed on my prediction of my wife's finish by 15 minutes...but I was 15 min. behind my prediction for when I'd get out of T2, so it all worked out. Good luck to both of you! You'll have a great day, no matter how it turns out. |
