Race day. I decided to try to keep up with a pacer at a faster time than I planned, and it cost. The classic “going out too fast” mistake. It was worth a shot. Paid the price, as expected. Started cramping a bit at mile 17, so backed it off and ran/walked the last 9 miles. OK — lesson learned.
Today was the Erie Marathon. Split time 2:04, finish 4:38. Pace overall was 10:37.
