Notes
Bob Potts Marathon, York PA
pacing for Brenda, going for 3:55, her BQ by 5 minutes
ran with brenda and Mike who hoped for sub 4 hrs.
had trouble throughout with even pacing. mike stayed with us through something like 15 miles (eventually DNF)
Nikki joined us at mile 18 to help keep us going. brenda and I were beginning to struggle/suffer,
kept focus on curent mile. Nikki did the encouraging/chatting, I set the pace.
and I prayed we would somehow make it
and we did!
planned for 9 minute average on first half, 8:55 for remainder. was too fast early, slower later
