Pocatello Marathon.

After a strong race at Mesa I was really excited for this fast course. I was hoping to run a 3:00-3:02.  The first part of the course is downhill so my plan was to let everyone go out too fast and gain ground on the flats.

I started out feeling strong and right on track and about mile 8 things just started to go downhill (pun intended...) my stomach started to act up. I had to slow down a hair to try and calm it down, made a pit stop that cost a few minutes... Then I just couldn't get back on track. My legs felt heavy. About mile 14.5 I saw the 2nd place girl about a 3/4 mile up. I thought I might be able to catch up, but I just couldn't dig in. I felt strong up the hill at mile 20, but at the top another side ache hit and I could barely breathe. I had to slow to about 8:30 pace to get it under control. Took a couple miles, but I was so far back by then it didn't really matter. There were lovely headwinds to greet us at tht op of the hill. With 1 mile left my friend passed me and I just coasted in. I finished in 3:10 and my watch said the course was 26.32. So about the same as Missoula.

I was really disappoionted with the race. I felt really good going into the race so I don't know what happened.. I didn't feel tired at the half way point- my legs felt fine..I was a little bummed about the lost time for the pit stop and stomach ache, but not enough to derail me...

Who knows... just not my dayI guess... I think I race too much to really focus on running a solid marathon late in the season. and I had to give up racing 3 halfs hard that I really like. I think I will stick to fulls in the spring (along with ultras) and halfs in the summer. I think I can shave a few minutes off my half times and get into the low to mid 20s.

Still keeping SLC on my marthon schedule for next spring. Have to have at least one solid race I feel good about....

 

Also not as sore as I was last time so that is nice- the half this weekend won't hurt as bad...

Tried to run, but half a mile in decided to bike instead cause my legs are still tight and I have to race on Saturday. Biked 18 miles.

Walked Luca for 2 miles before bed.

Legs are loosening up. Wanted to go for 8.5, but had to jet to school to volunteer in 1st grade. Maybe get 2 or 3 in with Luca before bed.

3 with Luca.

Easy 8. I wanted to go a little further, but figured if I am supposed to race on some hills on Saturday, I should let my legs heal as much as possible....

Ran the uphill portion of 13.1. Figured after the marathon last week I would have a friend spilt the course with me.

Legs were fatigued, but I managed to make it to the top first for Queen of the Hill.

Road race season is pretty much over with now. 50k toward the end of Oct and a few fun runs (Halloween, Turkey, Xmas....) and cyclocross races are all that is left.

I am excited to back off of workouts and bump up my base miles again. Just a few months of easy 70-80 miles/week and start thinking about my goals for next season....

Hit the foothills with Luca. I was planning on 14, but worked late and then Luca slowed me down.  Almost killed her.... I packed water for her, but she went through it in the first 2 miles and started overheating. She just chases too much stuff!!!

We alked down a hill to the only water in sight. Drenched her and she had a nice big drink and was ready to rock and roll, unfortunately we had to get back to pick up the kids...
