Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK, I'll start it. 24 days out. This weekend is my last 20 miler and one more interval session and it's taper time. This is my first Philly marathon. I have up'd my training, trained smarter, and if I don't get sick, I am hopping this will be a good race for me. Does anyone know if they have txt alerts for this race. Disney lets you enter peoples cell numbers, and they get txt messages during the race about your splits. Does Philly have this? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello fellow BTers! I'm using the full marathon as a training run for Lake Placid (never gone 26 miles on foot before, figured I better try before I have to do that distance after a swim and bike!). Look for me! I'll be EASY to spot!!! I'll have a BRIGHT BLUE shirt on that has two thumbs up and says "Stay Positive!". I'll have black shorts on and my hair will be in two braids. Bib number 4583!!! -Sara |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Did anyone else find their official time was wrong? Let's just say that according to my chip time, I should consider turning pro! Ah, and now that I had a friend save me an image of my online finish results so that I can admire this snafu for seasons to come, I have to email to tell them that I did not finish with the elite women. On a side note, my Garmin clocked my distance on race day at 13.25 miles...and a friend's Garmin clocked him at 13.22 miles. Mine was off by what seemed like a pretty even distance for every mile after three...meaning I came up with about an extra 0.15 sometime during the first few miles. Anyone else have this experience? I guess it is possible that I was just doing an awful lot of swerving around people during the first few miles. |

I guess it is possible that I was just doing an awful lot of swerving around people during the first few miles. RPCV - thanks for the water. I was feeling pretty good both times through your water stop, but died at mile 25. Thanks for volentering. My Garmin showed my distance as 26.4. This also happened at Disney. I think it is a combination of not running the tangents and the garmin being a little off. .2miles is a little more than a football field. That's not to bad after 26 miles. However, at my pace that's almost 2 min. I took this into account, and ran a little under my needed pace. Until mile 25 that is. If you want to run a 4hr marathon that's a 9:09 pace, but because my garmin is going to be .2 short I need to run a 9:05 pace. |
