Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon Tomorrow!

I have to get up tomorrow morning at 3:10 to be on the road by 4:10 to be at the finish-to-start bus by 5:10. Pick up my packet as soon as I get to the start line, by 6:10 am.

7:00 am start.



My plan is to control my speed at 11 minutes per mile through the entire event. I know, pretty simple. Should be able to compute it pretty easy, too... :11, :22, :33, :44, :55, 1:06, 1:17, 1:28, 1:39, 1:50, 2:01, 2:12, 2:23.



I will start off in the first 4 miles with the 4:1 split. At mile 4 I will stop the splits, and run continuously. This should give me enough warm up time. At mile 9, I will judge if I can step it up a notch for the last 4.



Well, that's the goal anyway.

I got a new shirt today. Like the one shown, but red. I like it a lot. And a $36 shirt for $12. Yey! I also got some new socks for $2 from the Sports Basement in Walnut Creek. Not sure if I will wear it tomorrow or not.. you know the rule about not doing anything new for a race.




I'll decide in the morning. Eh, that's probably a bad idea, too. I am going to forget something.






Saw the new Felt S22 at the Sports Basement too. I love it. I though it was the 2007 on sale, but it was white like the 2008.





The Vineman Ironman 70.3 triathlon is also tomorrow in the same general area. I might try to go up an hit that after the race. Depends on when I finish I guess. It would be exciting to see.
