Notes
This was a foggy and rainy morning. Did second leg of Poconos Marathon relay. Morning did not start well, forgot my GPS at home and shoes I was to bring to Reno....The start was located at Poconos raceway, huge place. Unfortunately the organizers was not prepared, no answers given were to go etc......
From the start we took a bus to the relay change. Me and Reno did an easy 2 mile warm up going out the course. The first mile was straight up, really tough start it seems like. Meg came in about 1.33 at this point I was already wet. The climbing started immediately. I felt good climbing and had no issues the first mile but the hills was a never ending story....On the elevation map it looks like its mostly downhill but all those nagging rolling hills tear up you legs. At mile 22 I was really tired but at one of the few flat sections I pushed a bit to try to wake up legs. The last 3 miles I decided to try to push harder and I was able to pick up some pace. Felt really good. Over all a good race but really tough. Satisfied how I ended the race hard and strong....
