Time: morning, try as I might I can’t start as early as I want to mimc race day … Race starts at 7, earliest I’ve been able to get out of the house is 7:45
Where: Burke-Gilman – Lake Union lollipop
Workout: 12 miles LSD
Notes and observations: 1:59.02
I thought I was faster than the first time I ran this length but actually was 30 sec slower. Go figure.
Tried a new Gu, next time I’ll bring a second to carry me through the last 2-3 miles. Could have hydrated more the night before. Mighty salty flavor around my lips when I got home. Always reminded of Lance and tha Tour stage where he ended up with a white paste of salt around his mouth. It was a time trial, yeah … But I digress.
A great song shuffled on with about a 1/2 mile to go. Perfect timing.
Music: Foo Fighters on shuffle. Long ago I decided this would be my race plan, so I try to save them for the long runs. Not sure how it will go with bands playing throughout the route.
