Our plan was to break 2 hours.
I thought we started out slow, more like a 10 minute pace for the first
mile, but we ended up running it at 9:06, which is what I wanted for the
average.
Our second mile was quite a bit faster as people that knew me passed and I
had to talk to them for a bit. We ran a few low eight's before we settled
back to 9 minute miles.
Around the 7 mile marker, my fingers started to tingle. I looked at them
and sure enough, they had swelled up, meaning I was retaining water.
The night before, I talked to Jeff Galloway, yes, the Jeff Galloway and he
told me the Succeed capsules would only be a good idea in warm weather.
Well, it warmed up shortly after the start of the race, and I knew I was in
trouble.
I didn't get too dizzy, so I kept running until about the 11 mile marker.
That is when my sister left me.
My Heart Rate at the finish was only 199. I crossed the finish at 1:56:10,
but they have me down for 1:55:55, so they must have used chip time.
My sister remarked, that she always does the first mile too slow, so I have
helped her out there.
I think it was a very good training run for Detroit, but I have to practice
10 minute miles, since that is what I plan to run there.
