I would agree with you that you definitely need to be cautious on the downhills and not go out to fast on this course. Also, I found the seawall is a beautiful part of the course, but mentally challenging as you always expect to see the next landmark around each bend… It just seems endless.
Thanks Robert! Indeed, the winding Seawall can seem to go on forever as each turn often resembles the one before it. The randomly-placed kilometre markers last year added an extra degree of difficulty to what should have been, on paper at least, the easiest part of the race.
Hey Robert, I just noticed that I’m running right beside you in one of your pics from last year’s race – obviously that was early on! This year hopefully I’ll “run smart and finish strong”, but maybe include a bit of “go big or go home” too! Awesome plan Dave! Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Nice Race Plan! I was one of the pacers for 3:45 last year and I put some thoughts together at: http://running.uebbing.com/?p=448
