Sugarloaf Pace

Posted by Roger Marquis on May 9, 2008, 2:03 pm, in reply to "ps"

Gary,

Your probably right about starting slow at Sugarloaf and saving it for after the hill horrible hill at mile 9. I'll try to hold around a 6:45 pace after the mile 9 hill. Not so sure I can do it for very long. Maybe trying to do this will shut me up on the route. Most of the time I am running my mouth steady but I have a feeling I'll be sucking wind trying to hold pace. See you in about week. How about Joe Dunton? He must be gearing up for something about now.

Roger
