1/2 marathon rr
Message posted by: dennis l.
this is a year of many first for me this being the start. saturday morning i ran my first half marathon competatively . sunburst marathon in south bend indiana. the races started at the college football hall of fame and ended inside of notre dame stadium. in rained the night before ,so the humidity was in the 90 % range and temp mid 60′s. my goals at the start were first to get under 2 hours ( i had little doubt i could acheive this) next more realistic goal was under 1:45 and my high end goal was 1:35 ( to me this would have been a geat day) at the start i slotted myself around the 8 min. mile. i ran the first mile around 7 min flat ,maybe faster. settling in. first 9 miles i did pretty easily, no troubles. miles 10 and 11 a little tightness in my calves and i slowed a bit. mile 13 i was able to bring my pace back up. the finish was good running into the stadium. final time 1:37:24 , 7:24 pace. i’m pretty happy with that. i should have tried to get more gatorade in during t
he race. my technique needs work on running and drinking. and i should have faught the temptation to slow when my legs were hurting. also i wasn’t exactly fresh going in , my plan didn’t slow my training much. thursday before i had a 10 plus miler and on friday 1 swam 4500 yds and a 2 hour ride.
