Notes
Warm day out on the BT.
Was seeded 9th and finished 9th OA. I passed three people after a 2:26'44' Split to Pine Lane, but was passed by Matt Shaheen before Boston and then Shana around the Barn. Return trip was 2:47'35"
Here are the splits:
1) Start to Snowville - 57'43"
2) Snowville to Boston - 50'57"
3) Boston to Pine Lane - 38'29"
4) Pine Lane to Boston - 39'02" (3:03/4 into the race)
5) Boston to Snowville - 57'11" (gave up 7' here) (4:03 into the race)
6) Snowville to Finish - 70'55" (gave up ~11' here)
Ran solid and did my best. Actually I followed my fueling and hydration plan to a T. A drank a full 20oz bottle between aid stations. Had two bottles after Boston 2. I took a gu every 30' and one S cap every hour. Also - used ice in my hat from Pine Lane back.
Energy levels felt stable (no real big Dips). I even thought my pacing was about perfect to Boston 2. The heat spiked and my turnover just wasn't there despite the fact I was moving pretty well after Hill #3 after Boston.
Hit Snowville 2 at 4:03. Suffered in. Heard the 12pm siren near the stables. It took me about 16 minutes to go from the stables to the the finish line.
Future: I'd taper more.
