Perfect weather for the race this weekend. I believe it was 50's for most of the race. Started with my wife behind the 1:50 pace group (she ended up running a pr of 1:47!) And the first two-three miles were filled with a lot of weaving through traffic. I did not wear a watch and have no clue of my mile splits because the race did not track each mile. I felt good pretty much the whole race, my legs began to feel tired from the weeks workout after mile 7. Miles 7-12 are where the hills are in this course and that definitely took its toll on my legs. My goal was to have a time under 1:30 to help me feel the pacing I need for Boston. The 1:29:58 is also a PR for me so am excited about that. I did roughly a mile warmup and cool down before and after the race to get me to the fifteen. Overall felt good, got to see Mark, the runner whose PR's I am chasing and my old college coach! Now four weeks to the marathon! |
