1:40 pacer for the Striders HM. Finishing time was 1:39:35. Not a bad day for a race. As a pacer, I thought our first miles were a bit fast. Avg was supposed to be 7:38. Miles 3, 4, & 5 were 7:17, 7:18, 7:15. In fact, every mile through mile 8 was sub-7:38. Two problems with this--first, for those trying to hit 1:40, it can burn you out early on. I have always preached that you can't bank minutes in a race. Second--we really had to slow down the last 3 miles, running a 7:46 (ok, that one's not too bad), 7:53, and 8:27. So, I let it get away from me. Yeah, the finishing time is within 30 seconds of target time (where I like to be), but the last few miles had to be manipulated to hit it. I know better, and will be more disciplined next time.
