Less than two weeks out! I think it's time to start posting goal times and race strategies to make it official.
Here's mine:
Goal-2:38 to 2:39:59. I think I may be overreaching a little bit, but I have nothing to lose in laying it out there and going for it after finishing Chicago last week with a mega PR of 2:41. Pacing will be the hardest part of this race I think because of the hills. I plan on pacing it very even effort-wise by trying to stay in a narrow HR range (163 for up hills, 159 flat, 155 down with avg of about 158ish).
If anybody out there has ran close to this time before at NYC I would love to hear how you paced it.
