That freaked me out at first when I saw 2:28 for me because it was so far off from my watch. I was too tired to notice that they had the same (gun) times listed for the chip times as well.
They did get the right amount of time it took us (me at least) to cross the mat so when I did the math it finally added up in my head, if not on their site.
Good to see you!
hey i cheered EVERYONE on!!! :O)
I'm surprised the turnout was so low considering the great weather we had. Maybe last years miserable, hot and sticky 25k scared everybody away.
I definitely think there's something wrong with their mile markers. If you look at Holden and my splits we both had a very fast mile 4, and a very slow mile 5. That spike/dip doesn't show up with the folks using GPS, so it couldn't have been a water station or hill.
The same thing happened last year.
Hello everyone. My name is Joe and I am far from being an experienced runner, but I love the sport and I am trying my best. I am proud to state that I ran the 25k this past Sunday and I finished at 2:20, this was a pretty good improvement over my last years attempt at the 25k at just under 2:48.
My point for posting is regarding the 2007 marathon. I have run the past three Houston half marathon's, steadily improving each year, and this year is going to be my first full marathon. I am hoping to finish under 4 hours. My question to all of you is rather simple. My stamena seems to be good, except, my legs began to get a little "weak" at mile 14. What can I do between now and Janary 14th to improve my leg strength for the marathon? Should I lift weights, run hills, or something else?
Thank you for any comments and thoughts you may have.
PS - I will be turning 40 the week after the marathon, so this is my birthday present to myself. Wish me luck.
Good luck to all of you in your running endeavors.
