Comments:

Love this race and have done it for 5 years now, since it started. My HR monitor went funny to start which it sometimes does near the hospital. Kept calm though and found my rythm. Not too crowded and I got my own space early on. Could see Cyndi and Julies heads bobbing in front of me at least for a while. I felt good most of the race but was pretty bummed I missed the 2 hour mark by so much.
What would you do differently?:

Would have picked up the pace a little sooner on the way up to Carthage. I felt good and did a little but could have done more. Given the exhaustion leading up to this race, I am very pleased I was able to do it at all let alone with a good solid time.

Warm down:

Ran back to find Julie and my sister. Helping Jennifers mental state get her around the corner and down the stretch surely counts as a warm-down:)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

emotional and physcial exhaustion leading up to this race

My question is am I playing with fire entering the half marathon this close to my primary goal for this season which is the HIM?

I just ran the Boston Marathon under nine minute miles, can I run eight minute miles for my half Ironman training runs? Or should I go slower?

I just started doing tris this summer and I have two under my belt, both sprints. Is it reasonable to build up for a Oly in early ‘09, with a HIM in Oct of ‘09

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
