Alone in a Crowd

So I was crazy enough to do it. I did the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon on Sunday. The week leading up to it was very stressful at work. We worked so much overtime that I had no time to work out, zip, nada. I was hoping to do it around 5 hours but I was willing to settle for a 12 minute/mile pace which was my original goal. However, that was not to be, not this time at least.

The splits show how badly I fell off my pace:

10K     = 11:56 min/mile
Half    = 12:02 min/mile
21 mi   = 12:28 min/mile
26.1 mi = 12:52 min/mile

Even though I carefully calibrated the Polar RS800sd, it was once again way off showing 44.5 kilometers when it should have recorded 42.26 kilometers.

However, it does show graphically that the biggest change happened in the last quarter of the race.



Oh well--here is another nice metal to add to my collection.



I'm a bit tired, somewhat disappointed, but already thinking of the next race--a 5K racewalk at:
