Rock and Roll Marathon San Diego, May 31st - 2009
Ummm yea......
Marathon lessons for beginners who think they are not beginners:
1) Reduced training due to injury, limiting running to 10 miles max for the last month, not a good sign.
2) Planning on running slighly harder than your best training day, after #1 above, not a good plan.
3) Thinking it won't have that big of impact on the run, only a little slower, but no real problems, is not a smart thought from #1 and #2 above.
4) feeling like crap and knowing your in trouble at 15 miles is not agood sign when you are to hold through 20 before that wall.
5) Assuming you will run hard on this day, is not a good thought given #1-4 above.
The result of the 1-5 above, total repect for marathon distance New respect for the
10 Km 44:59 -- 7:15 pace
Half 1:39:19 -- 7:35 pace
21 Mile 3:01:03 -- 8:38 pace
