Subject: IMS Marathon Is anyone else running this race? I was planning on doing the Lost Dutchman but won a free entry to IMS. This will be my first full marathon. Getting the usual taper week crazies. What to wear, jacket or not, which shoes, what pace should I try to hold? Did I do enough speed work? Did I taper enough? Did I taper too much? I'm driving myself crazy. I checked out the course. Has anyone run this before? Are there any surprises on the course that I should be aware of? Looks like slight downhill 1% or so for first half and slight uphill second half. I know everything will work itself out by race day. Lisa |
