A year ago at this race, I PR'd with a 2:10:xx and the course measured short. This is my best chance to go under 2 hours. The plan is to go out comfortably at low 9s pace and drop a couple sub 9 minute miles in there before the turnaround (mile 7.3). Ideally I will hit mile 10 at 1:30; that will give me plenty of confidence to bring it home under goal. It is an out and back course and I have a good handful of friends racing that will be uplifting to see them on the course.
I train with one earbud in, and so I will race the same way. I realize I'm opening myself up to criticism here, but here are the tunes that get me going these days. Yes, I like mostly newer music, but it's a pretty decent mix (no country) - Some are meaningful, some inspirational, and others just match a good running tempo for me. There is exactly 2 hours of music here! They are listed in alphabetical order, but I'll just press Shuffle and hope they hit me at just the right time as I need them! (If you see one you don't know, google it, I bet you'll like it!)
