2018 Peachtree Road Race (6.214 Miles) 00:47:31, Place overall: 1942, Place in age division: 105 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 1.50 | 0.00 | 6.21 | 0.00 | 7.71 |
| Today's Peachtree Road Race was my fourth time doing this race since moving to Atlanta 4 years ago. This was not a great time result for me today, but I attribute that to the poor weather-racing conditions. Similar or worse to the weather 2 years ago 72 degrees and 100% humidity with a dew point of 71 - as I age, I just do not do well in those conditions. As expected, I ran about the same time 2 years ago.
My effort in the first 3 miles was on par as far as splits go with the previous efforts. I was at or slightly below 7 mins in the first mile with the next 2 downhill miles in upper 6 min range. However my heartrate this morning was blowing up very early even in the first mile and at least for me, once that happens, I have about 3.5-4 miles before I crack. My avg HR for this race has never been higher at 178.
Too bad this wasn't a 5k - because the first part of the race was not too terrible.
On the bright side, my daughters and my son-in-law all participated and it was a great event as it always is. I love that my girls want to do the race every year - regardless of whether they have been training - because it makes for a great family event and tradition. From the giant American flag hanging from a crane above the starting line, to the perfect organization, and nearly 60,000 runners, and with the National Anthem beautifully sung, ending perfectly with an F-16 blasting over Peachtree Road - there's nothing like it on Independence Day.

| PM - we rented a cabin in the Pisgah Forest in North Carolina and so drove up mid-morning and arrived after lunch. Walked Finn around the Brevard campus - where Delaney did 2 summer running camps - while Tracy and the girls went grocery shopping for the cabin. After getting settled we drove to Hooker Falls and Triple Falls trailhead and did a short hike before dinner.

| AM - 5k or so with Finn and Riley before everyone else was up. Nice run in the mountain forest.
PM - 7.2 mile hike on Looking Glass Rock - actually a bit of a difficult climb in the humidity - but great panorama views at the top.

| AM - same 5k route from yesterday morning - overcast and light mist. Only Finn ran with me this morning as Riley was too worn out from yesterday's activities.
PM - 5. 25 mile hike on Daniel's Ridge in the Pisgah Forest with Tracy and Delaney - in the rain. Actually with the natural canopy we really did not get very wet at all.
