Run
Comments: Since my main focus is training for IMCOZ, my initial plan was to run a few miles before the race, run the race at my long run pace, and then get a few more miles in to make my 2.5hrs in. Well, that didn't happen! I said screw it, I'm racing! I was by no means race ready, wasn't fresh at all especially having ran 11mi the night before. But, I actually surprised myself and hit a huge PR, almost 3min better than my previous best! Now I'm curious as to how fast I can race a HM on fresh legs...I guess we'll have to see. What would you do differently?: Obviously be race ready, but this wasn't an "A" race or anything so no big deal. Post race
Warm down: Walking around. What limited your ability to perform faster: IM training fatigue! Event comments: Almost any race held at the lakefront that is well organized is a good race. Only thing is they didn't give out AG awards. The race results say I'm sixth, but in every other race the top 3 overall get taken out of their respective AG's, which in this race were all from M3039. This would have made me third in AG so that's why I put that in this RR. Other than that, nice race. Last updated: 2012-10-23 12:00 AM
