If I had done that, I probably would have slowed down a tad during mile 5 when the wind was favorable - and saved a bit more energy for mile 6 when it was not. I like to feel like I'm at least holding pace at the end and not fading, but maybe I did as well as I could. Oh well, I'm always over-analyzing! :) Anyway fellow lover of cold weather running...I'm going for a half PR in the summer since it will likely be my only chance to do so until November. My half PR has seemed "unbreakable" for the last six years, so I'm over anxious to take it down while I'm knocking down my other PRs. I'm still worried about the heat, but am hoping I can acclimate a little more and also hoping there will be a nice lake breeze the morning of the race. :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-38338151660381414752016-06-10T08:02:27.529-07:002016-06-10T08:02:27.529-07:00Woo hoo!

Thanks, I am acclimating well, however it has cooled off lately so I may have to add a layer on my runs until it warms up again. I should write a blog post about what I'm doing differently, I started a list just now as I started thinking about my new training tricks! Fortunately I was clear of the volunteer when I threw my water! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-29972790959124041262016-06-06T19:24:22.352-07:002016-06-06T19:24:22.352-07:00What another wonderful and impressive accomplishme...What another wonderful and impressive accomplishment! That's crazy that the results were so wrong initially -- especially with chip timing (I'm assuming) -- but it's great that it got all sorted out. Good luck acclimating to the hot temps over the next six weeks! And I'm totally curious, given your big performance gains this year, how you're training now versus how you have before. Do you think your gains have been solely from your training differences? (Hey, blog post idea!) :) Anyway, great job! Hope you didn't douse a course volunteer in your water throwing PR celebration:)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695890488184466585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-73176973030436039902016-06-06T13:09:51.343-07:002016-06-06T13:09:51.343-07:00Thanks Emily!

Yes, it was funny that I threw my water in the air and that the woman knew that I had PR'd based on seeing my do it! Yes, so happy they got the results right. There were quite a few runners that were not happy until they were corrected an hour after the race! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-60337490635534677892016-06-06T12:23:45.484-07:002016-06-06T12:23:45.484-07:00WAY TO GO, PETE!!!

LOL at how you threw your water cup in the air - I would have totally done the same thing. That is really frustrating that your initial finishing time wasn't listed correctly, especially after waiting that long - but I am glad they finally got it corrected so you have independent PROOF of your accomplishment. =) YEEHAW!!!!!!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-74415659077329310862016-06-06T08:50:26.897-07:002016-06-06T08:50:26.897-07:00Water, lots of water!
