So tomorrow I will race my first half marathon.
13.1 miles from Topeka to Auburn, KS. Starts at 11AM. Temp is supposed to be around 28 with an ESE wind at 10 or so. Cold. The course is very hilly with some on gravel country roads.
Goal is to break 1:44 or around 8 minutes a mile.
I will be happy with under 2 hours and ecstatic with under 1:44. I have put the miles in and should be ready.
The plan is to start out about 100 people back from the front of the pack, start slow and keep the pace around 8 minutes a mile. According to the McMillan pacing calculator, I should be able to run around 7:50 miles. That may be pushing it a bit.
More tomorrow after the race...
