I've been loving the past weeks weather, the nip in the air gets my
motor running. I've also adopted a new philosophy which may be having
an effect also, no hard workouts during the week if I'm racing on the
weekend. I think I beat myself up too much during the week and don't
have much left in the tank by the weekend.
I've got a major race scheduled on Sunday ;), The 2nd annual Hairy
Gorilla Half Trail 1/2 Marathon. I had a log layoff due to injury last
year and ran 2:03.
My last three races have been Sept 5 5k - 21:18, 7 miler (hilly) 55:15 ,
5k 21:40 on 10/14 and 20:22 for a 5k last Saturday on a highly suspect
course.
Last year was muddy and conditions may be tough again this year if we
have significant rain on Saturday. With the weekend forecast we could
even be dealing with some ice on the trails by Sunday. I'm going
shopping for some screws for traction tomorrow, I think there are too
many place where you run on rock to go with spikes. It's supposed to be
windy and cool but I'm good with the cold part and the wind shouldn't be
a big issue in the woods.
I've got a 90k - 95k week going over the last 6 days but plan to rest .
I'm shooting for 8:30 pace as a best case, sub 9:00 as realistic.
What do you think?

What do I think? Like I've told you before, I'm gonna hold out for the
Stinky Skunk or the Amorous Aardvark.
Oh, you mean predict a finish time?
This race is at sea level, right Parker? In that case my hunch is
you'll run close to your best-case goal, I'll say 1:52:55.
Of course that's assuming you don't get arrested for the seat-sniffing.
If that should happen, my prediction changes to DNS.

It's about 1400 feet above so I guess I should adjust my expectations
downward based on that and my current BMI. :)

Predictions?
I predict you'll be arrested for sniffing bicycle seats at the junior
high bike racks.
