Previewing the course makes a huge difference in performance. The support will be great too, and when I checked times from last year i saw several women that had finished after the offical 16 hours, and yet still had a listed official time.

You sound so balanced and excited at the same time. I've heard Vineman is awesome. Is it the same course as Barb's race? And you'll have so much support with it being so close. I may have to figure out how to come out and cheer you on.

I'm signed up for my first IM this November and your post made me decide to take your approach - I'm not leaving the course until they make me! Yesterday I was reading Friel's Going Long book, the mental training chapter, and it pointed out that many of us need to serve an apprenticeship period in triathlon. Maybe you're just finishing up your apprenticeship this year and everything will work perfectly next year. Good luck at Vineman next year! They have an Aquabike option too, can still sign up for this year if you live nearby.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031477576688000275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-33747380870150627202009-07-03T11:59:07.614-07:002009-07-03T11:59:07.614-07:00Ahhhh speed work - the dreaded monster, but oh so ...Ahhhh speed work - the dreaded monster, but oh so necessary.

I will be running my frist Half Marathon in 13 years soon. It has a time limit. My wife and kids will be there supporting me. Yes, it will be harsh if I get pulled off the course for not keeping up the pace. However, they will have to do just that to keep me from finishing. Your efforts have been great inspirations for me. 13 years of not running has slowed me to the point slugs, snails ... well you get the idea.
