Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

What a day. I will write a full report tomorrow. I'll just say right now that I am very pleased with my performance, both placing (the important part) and time. Top 35 was my "top tier" goal, but I was quite happy with a hard-fought 53rd. There is no way I could have run faster, and was really happy with my time on a tough course and windy day. It was a thrill to run and compete in this field, and even more thrilling to pick people off the whole second half and run my race to my utmost. The last 15K was difficult, and I slowed a bit, but managed to fight hard and not hit the Wall.

I heard rumors of someone having a heart attack during the race when I was at the finish line, but did not learn the full details until a hour after the race. The whole Trials field is reeling from the death of Ryan Shay, and it hits really hard. A lot of people here knew him really well. I can't imagine what his wife and family are going through, but my own feeling of sorrow is large, and I didn't even know the guy. Let's give our prayers for his wife and family.

On to the race report...

Logan spent the night in our room and we had a slumber party. The slumber party entailed going to bed at 8:45PM (that 6:45PM Utah time) and getting up at 4:55AM. It took me well over an hour to fall completely asleep, and then I started waking up by 3:30AM because I was so geared up. But it was a restful night, as good as any pre-race sleep.

I ate a banana in my room and then grabbed a quick bagel downstairs in the hospitality suite. Then we loaded the bus. I didn't really notice anything about the bus ride, just ate my bagel and drank all my water. We got to Rockefeller Plaza at about 6AM, so had an hour and a half to blow off and get ready. We hung out indoors until 7:05AM. I managed to use the bathroom 5 times, which makes it a 5-star race, a good sign of things to come. Everyone seemed pretty calm, and it was interesting to be in the same pre-race room with EVERYONE. I made it a game-time decision whether or not wear my sleeves (the latest running craze), but when we saw Ritz putting his on, Logan and I decided that it was indeed "cool."

We finally moved outside to the start line and had half an hour to warm up (strides, etc.). Ironically, there were three portapots for everyone to share. I couldn't believe it. We were treated like kings for three days, and then get three portapots on race day. Oh well. It ended up working out fine, I just kind of expected a personal portapot for every runner. ;-)

It was weird; it was still kind of dark out, but the place was so lit with the TV cameras and city lights. A weird sensation. At about 7:20AM I was totally ready to go. Just start the darn race already. There were a lot of spectators there. Someone called my name as I was stretching out. I looked around, and it was my Coach Priebe from high school!! I could not believe it; I had not seen or talked to him in over 10 years! His son, and my former teammate, Scott was there as well. All that definitely put a smile on face.

Finally, the race was ready to start. They started counting down: 2-minutes, 1-minute, boom! The gun actually came a little sooner than I expected, but I lined up in the very back, so had no problems getting out efficiently. Watching the TV footage of the start later in the day, I could easily pick myself out bringing up the rear. Right where I wanted to be.

I found Logan pretty quickly, and we ran through Times Square together. This is one of the most memorable parts of the race. This was my first time ever in Times Square, and I happened to be running the biggest race of my life. The lights and visuals were amazing, and I enjoyed the effect while running with the pack. Logan and I and a couple other runners traded some jokes back and forth. The race was still early enough to make jokes.

Part of the reason it was easy to make jokes was that we got out incredibly slow. I did not see any mile markers until Mile 3. The clock there said "16:40", and I thought it was 5K at first. "Not a bad pace, 5:20/mile", I thought. Then we went through the 5K clock, and it said something like "17:05". That is very slow, more like 5:30/mile. We were all still very bunched up. Apparently the leaders were running tactical, not too surprising, I guess.

At 5K I was still near the back, but not quite sure where. The pack was so big and so fluid. I would pass people where it was efficient to do so (to fill gaps), and people were also passing me on the outside lanes. I felt like I was part of a living river of runners, churning and boiling. I could not see packs formed yet, just the river of runners. It was very much like XC nationals. And after 5K, the rapids started.

I actually can't remember a lot of precise details of the race. With doing 5 laps in the park, a lot of things blur together, and I can't remember who I was with, when I was with them, or where I did certain things. I general the west side of the course (which I call the "homestretch") was harder than the east side (the "backstretch"). I think there was more uphill on the homestretch, plus the 20+ mph winds were coming out of the north, so we got general headwind on the homestretch and tailwind (plus the "easier" hills) on the backstretch. I did not think the hills were that bad at any point, but definitely preferred the backstretch. No hill was that long or that high, there were just a ton of them, and they were relentless. But that is why I trained on my Millville Hill Loop all summer. Nothing is as bad as that loop.

Back to the race. Things heated up after 5K. A pack finally formed (probably the 3rd "chase" pack at this point, although all we were chasing was the 2nd pack), and I stayed in the back of the pack so that I got draft, run efficiently, and hit tangents. There were many twists and turns, so tangents and elbow-space were both very important. As gaps formed, I would move up, but tried to stay in the same general position, close to the runners immediately in front me. Even though the wind speed at the start was 22 mph. I did not feel it at all while running in packs. Plus I think the trees of Central Park helped diffuse it a ton. The wind during the race was nothing even remote close to the winds we faced this year at the Great Salt Lake Half or a couple years ago at the Canyonlands Half Marathon. It surely made an impact to those running solo, but was sporadic rather than steady, and only affect the homestretch, so runners did not have to deal with it non-stop.

I keep getting off track. Back to the actual race (again). My pack hit the 10K in 33:25, so the last 5K split was 16:16. Our overall pace had increased from over 5:30/mile to under 5:25/mile. This is more like it. I felt comfortable and stayed put.

The crowds were amazing, by the way. The bleacher section was deafening and the jumbo-trons were really cool. I could look up and see the leaders on the jumbo-tron, cool stuff, ha ha. The back stretch had a ton of spectators too, and lots of people were running back and forth for 10+ viewings. I heard lots of "Go Petersen!", thanks to having my name on my singlet. I though it was cool that many of the spectators were cheering for all runners, and it was encouraging to hear my name called by total strangers who were out there enjoying the race and supporting the runners.

15K split was 49:55, so 16:30 for the last 5K. Doing the mental math, I figured this was just under 16:40/5K average, so right around 5:20 average pace now. In some ways this was a little fast for me, but I was with the pack I needed to be with, and was feeling very very comfortable, conversation-pace even, although no one wanted to talk to me. I could definitely feel the loss of elevation in my breathing. This was my first sea level race in over 6 years, so was not sure what to expect in that regard, but so far so good.

20K split in 1:06:25, so another 16:30 5K split. I thought at the time, "20K, now that's kind of a cool distance." Maybe I will find a good 20K to run next year. There is a good one in New Haven, Conn.

Soon after the 20K clock, came the Half Marathon. The clock said "1:09:59" when I passed the mat, but my official splits (I had emailed to me) say "1:10:01". Splitting hairs here, but I'll take the sub-1:10! In reality, it took me a few seconds to cross the start line, so I lost a little time there at the beginning of the race. In any case, I was averaging exactly 5:20/mile here, and on pace for a 2:20. This seemed kind of fast, but again, I felt really good and that I could keep sustaining this pace longer.

After the Half Marathon, things got to be even more of a blur. The 3rd chase pack I was with had been steadily closing on the 2nd chase pack, and it was cool to see them slowly coming back to us. However, after the Half mark, I dropped a little bit from the rear of our pack, but also both packs appeared to string out and disintegrate. Now it was every man for himself.

This also meant that I had to deal with the wind on my own, but like I said above, it was not nearly as bad as it cool have been. At no time during the race did I think negative thoughts about the wind. I'm not going to say it was a non-factor, because it was there...but it was a non-factor. :-)

They had timing clocks all over the course, but after the Half, the times became meaningless to me. I don't know what 25K, 30K, etc. means in the context of a marathon, and I did not put forth the effort to do mental math at that point. Fortunately for the sake of this entry, I can refer back to my official splits, but at the time I did not pay them much attention.Rather, all my focus went into catching people and keeping my own pace strong. Indeed, people were finally starting to fall back, one-by-one.

25K split was 1:22:56, so another 16:30-ish 5K. 30K split was 1:40:20, so 17:24 for 5K. Not sure what happened here. I managed to form some mini-packs with one or two other people, as I had the chance. Often, I would catch someone, hang with them for a minute or two to regroup, and then move up and on. I felt very comfortable at times, but at other times I could feel the fatigue starting in my calves. Breathing was still very easy though, thanks to ample oxygen found at sea level.

I wanted to wait until about 18 miles (or 30K) before I started making a strong move, if possible. I knew the alternative was that I would feel bad and just try to hang on for dear life. The reality was somewhere in the middle. I was definitely feeling weaker at that point, but did not think I would hit the wall. I could tell I was slowing, but didn't worry about and kept trying to reel people in. I was moving slower, but there were plenty of people at this point who were moving much slower than me! Ducks in a row... Also, people were starting to drop out. I saw Hobie walking on the backstretch, just after Mile 18. Other people were walking here and there too. I passed a few people with very high bib numbers, practically crawling. Looking at the results later, I think a lot of those people ended up dropping out. There were 26 total DNF's.

35K split was 1:57:37, so 17:17 for the last 5K. Again, I had no perception of this during the race, I am only calculating these splits now, after the fact. All I knew at the time was that I hurt, but had less than 5 miles to go. I knew I had a good race going, place-wise, and even a decent time, which would be icing on the cake. Someone shouted to me and the guy right ahead of me "62 and 63!" This was the first and only report of placing I heard the entire race, and it came well after Mile 20.

People were coming back faster and faster over the last 7K, and I probably caught another 6 people the last lap. Mostly at this point I was just thinking about finishing as hard as a could and making myself hurt. In other words, "leave it on the 'track'", to borrow a track and field expression. 40K in 2:15:07, so 17:30 for the last 5K.

Just over a mile to go now, and there are several people in front of me to pass. Passed a sign that said "1 mile to go". Then another sign that said "800m to go". Then another signed that said "400m to go". I passed a guy right in here, and began kicking hard to discourage him from trying to stay with me. "200m to go". I was loving the signs. It was an uphill finish, and I looked ugly on the last 200m (or at least felt ugly), but it did the trick. Final time was 2:22:34. From my glances at the clocks late in the race, I knew that I could get close to the "B" standard, and was happy to run this time on a tough course. So icing on the cake.

I like to run negative splits, but this was not to be that kind of race for me today. I put myself in position where I needed to be the first half, got some fatigue the second half, but managed to grind out a solid second half and pass probably 20 people or so, despite not "flying". A guy who did "fly" the second half was James Lander (St. George winner from last year). I passed him before the Half, but then he came roaring past me with about 8K left, and ended up in 40th place. I think he may have negative-splitted. The only other guy to pass me during the last Half of the race was some Hansons runner, a little bit after Lander went by. Other than that, no one, so I was happy with that. I don't like getting passed.

I did not find out my place until a hour later, when I talked to Dave Nelson on the phone while I was sitting on the bus. I was happy with 53rd. It is the upper 40th percentile, and gives me a lot of confidence for the future.

I know this is once again a very long report, but this blog is as much a journal to help retain my own memories as it is a "public thing". It was definitely a memorable weekend, and a great racing experience.

It looks like my next race will be the Houston Half Marathon, on Jan 13. I have the chance to participate in the USATF Developmental Thingy, so will get comps and financial support to go out and run the USATF Half Marathon Championships. This is where Ryan Hall broke the American Record last year, so I know it is a fast course! I don't know a goal yet, maybe 1:06:00 or so? I'm sure Sasha will tell me within 15 seconds what I will run, so I will just do whatever he says. ;-)

Oh, regarding the Sasha-science type analysis, I haven't completely thought it over, but I imagine the Trials course is about 3 minutes slower than a Chicago or London or Berlin, especially with the wind factored in. Maybe up to 4 minutes, but 3 sounds reasonable. We had perfect temperatures, and the road surface itself was quite fast, but there is no disputing the hills. Hall had an absolutely amazing performance, and I think he is capable of 2:05-ish on a fast course. Winning by 2 minutes in this field says it all. Looking at my time, I do feel that it exceeds my St. George performance, and is the best marathon I have run.

Well I get to be the first to give you congratulations for your tremendous effort. Im happy for you that you did your best and had a great performance. Congrats on having a great running year - keep smiling.

Thats quite shocking about the Ryan Shay death - quite a loss.

From Brent on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 22:20:12

Congradulations - what a race you ran on a very tough course and day. I watched the race on the internet, the uphill portions looked brutal. Congads again, can not wait to hear the full story.

From Cory on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 22:49:42

I've been following your blog since May before the Ogden Marathon.

You've truly inspired me and my efforts to become a better runner.

Congratulations on an excellent effort and performance at the Trials. Obviously, most of us will never have the opportunity to experience something like this. Thank you for sharely your thoughts and experiences with us.

I've enjoyed it tremendously!

From Lybi on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 23:19:04

Great job Paul! Way to win some respect for St. George qualifiers with your strong placing! Especially impressive that you did this so close to St. George...almost like it had been just a training run for today. Can't imagine what it was like to hunt down Olympic trials guys and pass 'em.

P.S. I reserve the right to comment AGAIN once you've posted the full report. :)

From Chris Rogers on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 23:19:15

Paul,

Congrats on an outstanding race. Considering the course and conditions, I believe that this is probably the best race you have ever run--including your 2:18 at St. George. While the time at SGM may have been faster, to compete so well on the biggest stage in the country is an unbelievable accomplishment.

From Chad on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 01:22:15

I'm fighting to find more kind words that I haven't already heaped on you in a dozen prior comments for past races. So I'll add something different: I hope the LetsRun haters followed your race so they can see that you're for real "even though" you qualified at St. George. I agree with Chris R. that this race is a better performance than the 2:18, all things considered. Sasha science would probably put you at 2:17?

From Chad on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 01:23:21

I do want to add one more thing . . . you just rocked the Olympic Trials!

From ArmyRunner on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 09:32:44

Awesome report and thanks for sharing. I agree with you and others that this performance is better than your SGM performance. Let's wait and see what Sasha Science says it is always interesting.

From josse on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 10:14:24

Great performance! I loved reading your race report, it could have been pages and I wouldn't have minded. I am so happy you had an awsome experience.

One in a million :)

From cody on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 10:35:11

What an experience! I am pretty sure I saw you at the start too (on TV). You ran a smart race and got to lay it all out there. You must be on cloud nine right now. If not, you should be because that was awesome. I look forward to watching you tear up the national scene next year. Well done!

From Kim on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 11:43:56

I love that this blog also serves as a journal. Thanks for letting us read your journal! It is an awesome read!

From Annie on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 11:52:50

CONGRATULATIONS ON AN EXCELLENT RACE

From Superfly on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 13:02:29

Good job on a smart, well planned race. That time is amazing on that course. Even more impressive is that you did it one month after STGM. Just amazing. Your getting better by the month. That is cool about Housten. Good job man. I'm pumped for your future. Now give yourself a well needed rest.

From JohnK on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 13:43:24

Congrats on a really strong race and thanks for sharing your report. I'm not Sasha but I think you should aim for sub-1:05 at Houston!

From James on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 13:43:46

Amazing! I love what you have accomplished since we first me just over two years ago. You ran awesome! What a great experience, for you and all of your friends and family who were cheering you on. I wanted to call you yesterday, but figured I would let you be and bug you when you got home. Great race, great time, and way to represent your friends and family, the Blog, and the State of Utah. Your the man!!!

From steve ash on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 14:03:02

Nice solid performance Paul. Wish I could have seen it!

From Maria on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 15:30:18

Congratulations, Paul! Very impressive time on that course, definitely better performance than St. George. I raced in Central Park a lot, the longest race being half marathon, and it is not fast. There are couple of big hills, and several smaller ones. They do wear you out, especially 5 laps of them! All the best in Houston, you should do awesome!

From Mik'L on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 16:49:35

Great job Paul. What a smart race. Clyde and I are always talking about how smart you train and race and it has obviously paid off. With only one month after STGM, your time is even more amazing. Congrats. I'm sure there is only more to come! BTW, I am very envious of your NYC experience! What a cool way to see Times Square!

From jtshad on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 16:51:52

Paul, congratulations on a stellar race performance. It has been a true pleasure getting to know you since TOU 2005 and to see a friend at the OT and to perform so welll...it is just inspiring. You have tremendous talent and I look forward to seeing you take it to the next level yet!

From Jon on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 20:43:58

Great job, Paul. We are all very proud of you. Amazing race.

From Clay on Sun, Nov 04, 2007 at 23:40:53

Great job Paul we were well represented this weekend and I for one am very proud of you!!! Keep up the good work, your are an inspiration to many...

From dutch on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 09:14:07

way to be, pauly. i was extremely disappointed that work prevented me from coming up. i would have loved to cheer you on, but i suppose i was able to cheer remotely. what did you eat in celebration??

From Lulu on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 10:44:39

Congratulations on a truly great race. Thanks for posting a detailed report; it is a very interesting read. Maybe I'll see you in Houston -- I'm planning to be there.

From Dave Holt on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 11:39:30

Excellent job Paul - you're well on your way!

From Jed Burton on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 12:26:59

Thanks for doing all of us Utah runners proud this weekend, Paul. Congrats on a truly impressive race and season as a whole. The fact that you did it all after coming back from a frustrating year of enduring the injury/recovery cycle makes it even more spectacular. Well done!

From Daniel on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 14:13:09

Great race! Keep up the good work.

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 14:22:30

Paul - as I already mentioned on the phone, congratulations on a very solid race. You, Nick Schuetze, and James Lander defended my estimate that St. George is about 2:30 faster than a perfect record-eligible course, something that I know a lot of St. George skeptics would question vehemently. This also resolves the dispute of whether your Ogden performance was better than your St. George performance for the Top Runners listing, as this one is better than both of them according to Sasha Science. I have now updated the Top Runners list to reflect that.

Regarding Houston, I think 1:06 is about right. At least, that is what you would get if you divided the gap that Ryan Hall put on you in this race and added that to his time in the half marathon. The predictor says 2:19:34 converts to 1:06:56 for a 70 mile week guy, and to 1:07:16 for a 90 mile week guy. However, this is where I do not trust the predictor a whole lot. First, 2:19:34 ideal course equivalent may be too conservative of an adjustment, the actual value may need to be closer to 2:18:30, and second, my mileage adjustments for the slowdown between distances are not exceptionally trustworthy, although better than nothing.

I am, however, more convinced after this race that as hard as it may be to believe that your PR in St. George was underperformance (we always want to believe that a PR is a super-performance), you actually did underperform in St. George by about a minute. Probably due to the short sickness prior to the race. But it did not matter in the end, as you had enough of a buffer to get standard A, and now you have a better performance to your credit.

From Shauna on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 14:49:05

Congratulations! I loved reading your report. Keep it up!

From Cassandra on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 15:50:09

Awesome job Paul! Very inspiring indeed. I loved reading that you saw Coach Priebe - he has the kind of love for running that I am just now discovering. I mean, running is cool for competition and managing weight, but wow, a marathon! So very proud of you. Do you still play guitar? I know, randomness.

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 17:41:36

From Nick on Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 18:56:53

YESSS Paul! That is incredible that you had the opportunity to run this race! Your splits also show that you ran really smart - something that I can really learn from. I guarantee you have a lot more potential in you so keep up the hard/smart training and you are going places man! Congratulations on an awesome finish time!

From MichelleL on Wed, Nov 07, 2007 at 19:00:09

Thanks so much for the detailed report, Paul. Your race was awesome, you left it on the track for sure. And congratulations on being able to participate in the developmental program. I am sure that will be a great experience for you, and for us, as we'll be able to follow your progress!

From Sasha Pachev on Thu, Jun 04, 2009 at 17:22:05 from 64.81.245.109

Bump to get it to the hot discussions. Marathoner #53 in the nation is hot.

Guys - a bump is effective if no comment has been made in the last two months, or if you have not commented already. To make Hot Discussions you need to win on the number of commenters among the entries that have been commented on in the last two months.
