Subject: RE: Pace booty poll, is it ALWAYS faster than you?To my chagrin, and probably because I started at the back of the pack, I was faster than the better quality PB in the early miles of last weekend's marathon. Thankfully, there were enough runners that I was able to flit from PB to PB like a hummingbird in a nectar field until the participants really thinned out. After that there was a high-quality duo that I swapped positions with several times over the last ten miles, right up to and past the finish. As a true gentlemen, I congratulated them on their race and thanked them for their motivation. |
