Pace: 9:04
Conditions:
- 58°
- Rain and drizzles the entire race
- Intermittent wind gusts 10 to 15 mph
Observations:
- This race provided pacers during the entire race. I stayed with the 2 hour pacer. He informed me that he was going to pace his racers to run 9:00 to 9:05 minute miles.
- I stayed with him the entire race.
- At mile 12.5 he informed our small remaining group that we would finish at 1:59:30 if we continued this pace.
Take Away:
- I need a pacer!!!!!
- I missed a PR by 30 seconds, but I felt great the entire race - no mental distress, no extreme fatigue, no leg cramps, no overly fast start, energy to sprint to the finish
- I need to figure out how to use my watch so I know my pace at each mile or get a fitbit that tells me my pace at each mile. I have NEVER run a race where I kept a steady pace before.
