Mantra going into this race: Be like a child, respond easy to changes, let people be who they are. I was Patient. Cooler temps were helpful. I had a well thought out pacing plan and stuck to it. Relax in the run and try to enjoy it. Stay focused. TRUST in your training. Fuel before and during. Don't be affraid of the carb! I was at +9 TSB FITNESS FORM IN TP. I was 3 days into the new moon power phase. Race morning - took a quick shower to warm up. Coffee. Mary gave me half of her peanut butter sandwich, that was key. Fueling for this race went as: Water, half peanut butter sandwich and coffee, banana. Also Filled water bottle with LMNT drank most of that before race. Had to pee 2 times before the start. Temps started high 30s and were into mid 40s at finish. I only wore 3/4 pants and one long sleeve shirt, gloves. Saucony Endorphin Speed Pro. They were great. Did not wait in portojohn line. Ran around the school to the woods. Pee'd there. The course was really pretty alon...
