Expert 671    Atlanta, GA |  Subject: RE: tribesman's group - FULLafrutoz - 2009-03-30 8:19 AM LOL...Weeelllll so much for planning. As we crested the hill into the early am sunshine during the first 2 miles or so, I looked to my Garmin and found I was running a MUCH faster pace than I planned. Then I checked my HR and found it was much lower than I would expect for that pace so I just went with it. Cardiowise the race was great. I had lots of energy at the end. The real issue I had was I had some pain in my knees during the last three miles. I wanted to push through it but I was concerned that I might hurt myelf. I still haven't learned what is acceptable pain vs stop now kinda pain. It turned out this was push through it pain cause I am fine today. Oh well, lesson learned sort of. I also drank too much h2o and gatoraide which made my tummy hurt towards the end. I skipped the last 2 hydration stops and eased up a bit on pace for a minute and that helped straighten out the tummy. I did follow my plan of pushing harder the second half of the race. I really was happy at how fast the time flew by, my overall pace and knowing that, without the pain, I could have really killed it (for me)...I had not run that distance or time in a long time and I am sure conditioning and longer runs will help get me there. Overall, I was really happy with my performance. I did 11:30 pace and finished at exactly 2:30 which is what I had hoped for. I am not sure but I think I shaved off nearly 10 min from my last race and lord knows I feel much better today than I did after my first half mary....  Ali, Great work hitting your goal! That is always exciting and makes me feel good. I find that I ALWAYS learn SOMETHING with each race. It doesn't matter if it is a 5k or Ironman, I take something away that helps me going forward. It sounds like you did too  I'm with Sandy in that your coach should definately be assisting you with your training and race planning. Unless it is an "A" race (and there are only a couple per year), I am likely "training through" my races. I am glad to assist but your coach knows or should know exactly what you are doing and where you are re training. Very happy to hear you are feeling good and we will see you at the races soon!!

Tony Well -- it looks as though everyone is tapering off as we near the end. My must do list for the year: Finish every race I start - which includes my first and second 1/2 IM, train smart and have fun with friends while doing so. |
