Just wondering if anyone else went out too hot and paid for it later in the race. I was aiming for 83 high - 84 low and ended up running 87 high. Was on pace for 84 low until 10 and had to slow it down. The 6:12 miles at 3 and 7 was above my threshold and I know that was a huge factor in my errors. Walked for about 20 secs and got back on. I held on a while but I knew before we got onto ocean that this was going to be a tough race. Very frustrating considering I’m really strong aerobically but mistakes are costing me. I’ve noticed that every time I start conservatively, I always end up having a much stronger race.
