Final Info for the 3:15 group
Since I have had very little input I assume we are all good with the plans. This will be the final info I post as I assume many people may not access the blog on Friday.
I plan to be at the expo between 3:30 and 4:00 pm on Friday to pick up my race packet. If that works for some of you then great, I will see you there, if not, I may call each of you (if I have your number) Friday night sometime between 7:00 and 9:00 just to say hey and see if we are all good to go.
We will meet at the north west entrance to the elite corrals. That way if someone didn't get elite status they could jump in right behind the elite corral and stay with us at the start.
Here is the group as I know it right now Mike Warren, JonA, Josse, JulieC, Huans32 (Mark), MarcE, ChadL, Dace, Lee Elmer (not on the blog) and Me.
For general pace info we would like to do the halfs at about 1:38:30 and 1:36:30. If the wind in the forcast holds true, we should consider taking turns in the lead every quarter mile so we can conserve energy and share the workload.
Please add your comments and we will revise the plan as needed. I look forward to meeting and running with all of you.
Nice and easy again today. Winds have calmed a bit since yesterday and I'm sure they will be very calm on Friday before picking up again on Saturday just in time for the marathon. At least it looks to be cooler than it has been lately, that should be a good thing. The left calf was feeling really good today but the right one is still a little tight but improving. Hopefully by Saturday they will both be feeling good. It was a chilly 59 this morning but once we got going it was perfect.
Time: 25:38 8:33/mile |
