Columbia Gorge Half Marathon - Pre Race
Report
I was considering not racing on Sunday, as we found out on Friday that 10 month old Will has an ear infection and croup. Susan will stay home with the baby, and I will make the 4 hour drive to Hood River, Oregon on my own.
Weather looks to be ok. Hopefully not too much rain.
Course is out and back with one hill:
Training has be modest at best. I will start out at a conservative 6:10 Per KM pace and see where the HR lands. My goal is to increase pace after the halfway point to keep an average overall HR at 90% until the finish. I am not expecting a miraculous improvement over the speeds I have been training. I have not run 21 KM since November 2010! But this is a start.
Hopefully 310XT will operate properly. I have had some major issues with the GPS functionality this week, and have tried several resets and cache clearing instructions to correct the problem. Either way, I'll wear the HR monitor and keep an eye on that during the race.
