i signed up for yet another race on a seemingly unstoppable quest to race 9 races this year even though i've already promised myself it's my last marathon. why struggle to qualify for next year then? is it a good option to have? i don't quite know.
anyway the race was sun am, always a wkd killer. i am terrible at having a glass of wine and waking up early feeling spiffy.
it was 80 at the start and pretty humid so needless to say it was a hot race.
52:48 was my time and i did have to work to get there in that time. Not a too terrible pace esp give my quad (which did feel stressed after) and the JPM challenge wednesday.
My splits for JPMCC were as follows:
mile1- 9:55
mile2- 10:03
mile3- 11:27 (WHAT?!)
mile3-3.5- 4:51
it was a clockwise loop starting at w76th street coming back around to 72nd street transverse
My splits for the Fathers Day race were as followS:
mile1-10:42
mile2- 10:21
mile3- 11:04
mile4-10:38
mile5-10:03
It was a clockwise loop from w68th lower 5 m loop.
