Fontana Days, NEW PR by 12 minutes by skaas at Garmin Connect - Details
I didn't really know how I was going to do in this race. I tried a new training plan that focused on frequency and building weekly volume, not running hard. I had been very tired the two weeks before the race. I tapered this week, only running about half the miles I was running. The last 2 days I only drank sports drinks, no water. For breakfast I had a bag of Powerbar bites and a Honeystinger waffle. I had 1 gel an hour before the race and another 15 minutes before the race. I took water at all the aid stations. I had a gel at miles 6 and 10. My legs felt great, I didn't feel like I was working until mile 9. I was worried that I went out too fast, but I wanted to take advantage of the steep sections. I felt good until about mile 12, I only have about 8-10 minutes with my HR above 180, I should have paced the last 3 miles better. This is a new PR.
