Oh yeah in case you have forgotten....like you forgot you needed to be thinking about me all the time....I have this little race on Saturday:
So here are a few things on my mind that I need to prep and be ready for Saturday morning!
1. Food/Fuel....The race starts at 11am which is later than I would like since I am a freak about prerace fueling...like I have to eat and drink the same things every. single. time. Don't they know this? Lisa gave me a good suggestion though to bring food with me in addition to eating my breakfast! Since we are catching the ferry at 9:15 I'll be sure to pack some goodies! Oh man and I guess my anti sea sickness meds....typing this I just realized there is a chance for an angry sea belly! Oh boy! Either way the iFitness belt is packed with Gu and I'll bring my Nathan handheld for water.2. Attire....As mentioned yesterday I got a new pair of shoes and strayed from the standard color combo (thank by the way for all the shoe love)! Enter new dilema...I have all pink and black clothes! Looks like I'll be hitting up a few stores today! It would be awesome if I could find a lime green skirt...we shall see! I'll post my decision....because I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat about that!
3. Goals.....Since I have never run this race before it will be a pr either way! Score!! I have thought a lot about what I would like my race to look like. I have been training using Galloway and will continue to do that for this race. I just love the way my legs feel using it! I'm setting a conservative goal of 4 hours. Yeah pretty conservative. Really folks I want to finish!!
Any pre-20 miler advice??? Eating....pacing...attire?
I have no idea but good luck!!!!!! hope you rock it :)
ReplyDeleteHope there's no trace of seasickness and you enjoy every step. I've got a lime green skirt I got at Athleta--love it!
ReplyDeleteI've only run 20 miles twice in my life: one training run and during my marathon. The training run went fantastic and I was crying around mile 20 during the race, so I'm clearly not the one to ask. :)
ReplyDeleteI say go out and run just like you've been training and have a great time. The late start is a bit wonky, so maybe eat something earlier in the morning and then your usual pre-race breakfast an our or so before the race starts???
I've never done 20 miles before but do what you have done before & stick with what you know. Have a blast :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck it is a great race and the scenery is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I am sure you will do great! Hope you can find a lime green skirt. That would be a great color combo.
ReplyDeleteHope there's no sign of sea-sick belly! Have a great time - like you said it's already a PR no matter what! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I ran my marathon doing Galloways, run/walk....it's so great! I love gurenteed PR days, those are the best. Go get em'
ReplyDeleteglad to be of help in any way. I hope it works out for you. Good luck on the 20 miler- impressive distance :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! You are going to do great!! I have only done 20 miles when I was training for my marathon. And I am like you, I have to eat the same thing every time. Hey, you do what works right?
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed that the green mountain on the logo kind of looks like an upside down, dead dinosaur?
Should be a beautiful day, so I KNOW you're going to have a great run, Nancy......I've always wanted to run the MV20......maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteWow, Good Luck!!! and have a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, late starting races are hard when it comes to fueling. I say don't change a thing! Just have it again a few hours later again? Good luck - have a great race!
