tomorrow

12.12.15

well, tomorrow is the day.

It appears that the temps will be very similar to Chicago, although, winds will be slightly stronger and we may have some precipitation.

I'm still a little unsure about my plan.  I suspect I may try to maintain a 10:30 pace through the 1st half and see how I feel.  I'm not sure how my body will respond after the lack of training since Chicago.  My target pace for Chicago was 11 through the 1st half.

In order to run a 4:45, I'll need to average just under 11 min / mile for the race.

Nutritionally, I'll plan on a gel and endurolytes every hour, liquid at every aid station, and, a banana at about the 30k mark.

I'm hopeful that the familiar course, friends and family along the route, etc, will be enough to get me through tomorrow.  It has the potential to be ugly...
