Comments:

Felt really good early and for the first 11 miles, but had a hard time increasing the pace in the middle. I went out at about a 10:30 pace (was targeting 11:00-11:30), and ended up pretty much there the whole time. I don't think I ever got it under 10:00. But, overall, I felt good, had fun, and finished okay.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably the overall lack of speed work this year.

Event comments:

Perfect day for a race, and a beautiful course for a run. I will definitely consider doing this race again next year.

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.
