Notes
Actual time 2:44:35; 8:15 pace. Had a few stops totaling 1 min and 20 secs - stoplights (1 long one), and to grab water.(2 times).
Did not feel up to do this run. Perfect weather, 40s but gray skies.
Felt really good to start, fresh legged. Had a few lows around mile 7 and 14 where it felt like I was working for the miles. The hills were fun bc lots of runners on the course. Heartbreak (mile 19) was my slowest but did not push at all.
Generally comfortable during the run.
HR average 161, which is HR for my easy pace. 655 gain. really tried to go by feel and looking at elevation, the mile paces actually make sense. Felt SO much better than I felt last year at Boston in every single mile.
