 Run
Comments: I stuck to my plan, running the correct pace and the target HR zones. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Post race
Warm down: Nothing, I walked around trying to locate my wife and kids. What limited your ability to perform faster: constantly dodging runners who were probably lined up incorrectly, and should have been lined up towards the back. I am not a fast runner by any means, but I had to pass way to many people. If I run this race next year, I will line up at the 7min mile pace line. Hopefully, everybody will do the same and lineup according to their ability. Event comments: Good race, but this course can't really handle it. I honestly think that I could have shaved off close to 2 minutes off my time, if I didn't have to pass so many people, or if I had lined up near the 7min mile pace line.

Runner | Subject: RE: Broad Street Run TRIBMAC - 2006-05-08 12:17 PM Thanks! Oh, I forgot to mention, I actually saw a runner talking on her cellphone during the race! WTF??? I thought I had seen it all. Yeah, a friend of mine who was spectating said he saw a number of people on cell phones. Good thing I didn't see 'em, I woulda thrashed 'em. And you are right about the passing people. My coworker had almost a minute faster chiptime, but I still beat him by close to four minutes guntime. I ran sidewalk for the first two-three miles. Did anyone else see someone with a BT sign around mile 8 or 9?!?! I may have been seeing things.... |

Woke up at 5am without an alarm, had a pb&j bagel. I had about an hour to kill, so I watched some tv. and did some massage with my tp massage ball. I picked up my two friends and headed off.
I didn't do much of a warmup, except walking to the subway from the Spectrum, and walking to the 8mile line up from the subway ride. I looked for any familiar faces, but trying to find someone in a sea of 15,300 runners, is nearly impossible.
