Target time was 3:12, stayed under that pace thru 19 miles (but realistically I was feeling early signs of fatigue and accompanying negative thoughts by the halfway mark...) At 19 miles shifted gears into 'stay under 8 minute miles' mode... (this worked until mile 23). shifted gears again to 'just don't walk' mode... completely drained of energy, maybe a bit dehydrated too, last 3.2 miles were very very tough physically and mentally... thought i heard my name called out by someone during last half mile, but not completely sure... happy to cross the line and be done.

Analysis:
Insufficient downhill training. Insufficient long runs. Ten pounds heavier than at SGM. Mini-taper only. Should have backed off pace more in the first half. Inadequate number of Gels? (4 total, at 5, 9, 13, 18 miles)
Regardless it was a good training run. Will be better trained and better prepared for next one! |
