Stn Mtn 15 miler

I am going to do the 15 miler 5 beats below the TO hr chart which is 5 beats higher than my HM race ahr. I was going to go with the TO marathon hr but decided Stn Mtn is to hilly to be that aggressive. McMillan time 2:12:21



Goal time 2:14:00 @ 8:54pace HR 165. Have not run hills. The course is 3 loops of some major hills.

Ate a 1/2 cup of oatmeal at 4:30 AM. 1st time eating before a race. Race start 8:00. This race is test for Marathon in March.

PS : I keep changing my goal time. This is final! I hope

Ok ,I did say hope. Temp adjustment 2:15:00. No goal. Just finish standing.

HM prediction 1:55:30. Official time1:54:45. Great weather. 60 F Overcast for the entire race. Stayed with planned HR of 157-162. Prediction charts called for AHR 168. I decided to be more conservative. Leg did not give me any problems. Need to stop at 9.5 miles for port-a-potty. Lost about :30. Great race management. Time clock at every mile marker.Time clock at half way mark .Did not think to check the time. Hopefully the race will show the split time. AHR -9 beats below 10 mile race 3 weeks ago. Pace of 8:45 today. 8:40 pace for ten miler. 13.1 not nearly has stressful as 10 miler. Weather was about 10 degrees cooler today.
