be patient Roger let the race come to you, somebody once said, "you can't win a marathon in the first 10k but you certainly can lose it"... be patient and save the chat for after you run under a finish line clock the begins with the number 2. History will never record what your spilts were, remember only the finish time counts --Previous Message-- : 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 : : --Previous Message-- : Roger, : : I think you can go under 3, but you HAVE to : run easy early, no faster than 6:55-7:00 : until the top of the hill. This will put you : exactly where you need to be to have a lot : of run left in your legs and to be able to : use the downhills to your advantage. In : other words the same effort will translate : to 6:45s and better and you'll break 3 : hours. Incidently I'm no expert on running : or this course and will never claim to be : but in my 13 appearances in the 25 total : editions of Sugarloaf it has never taken me : more than 3 hours to cover the ground, : needless to say I'll be doing my best to : make sure it doesn't happen in #14 : : g : : --Previous Message-- : I am : : --Previous Message-- : I'm running this race. Just curious to see : who : else may be running. : : : : : : :
