Up at 4:30AM for a 6:45AM race start. Full four day load of Race Day Boost. No breakfast. One RCS and one Mito before leaving hotel for the race. One gel, 10 min before start of race. One Enduro mile 4. One gel and one Enduro at mile 7.5. Drank both 10oz bottles of Heed during race; very warm. Had a significant amount of shade on the course at that time of the morning. Did not walk during the entire race. Most difficult time for me to keep running and not walk, was during miles 6 and miles 7. Felt better and pushed through it from mile 8 to the end of the race. Had enough energy at the end of the race for a short sprint to the finish line.

Best part of the race was the post-race food; BEST EVER!! Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, macaroni salad, pork & beans, full range of condiments, soda choices, ticket free beer and dixie cup ice cream for desert. The best! Post race activities were held at Waldameer Park near the park entrance.

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.
