Notes
Temp 50 Wind Calm.
One final go before tomorrow afternoon. Inflamation in ITB gone for two full days now. Still feel it at times. Some trying to go slow uphill, more trying to go slow downhill. Course is all flat tomorrow, and I don't intend to try to go slow, so hopefully will be OK.
Most concern about fitness. Got the HR monitor working again. HR still elevated. Splits 9:53 / 10:03 / 10:28. Still had drift from 130 to 145 Ave. Starts to rise between 15-20 minutes into run and nothing I can do to recover.
Hope to hit 4th turn tomorrow @ 1.7 mile mark at 6:35-6:40 pace. Will have .67 mile straight run until we hit the turns in the last 3/4 mile. Looking to turn it up on straight and gut out the final turns.
"A-Wad" will win AG. "Schmiz" is in St. Louis for marathon weekend. Unless someone I don't know shows, and if I run to my ability, I should place in AG. If "A-Wad" can finish top three overall, I may steal a 1st.
