I'm going for my second try at the Lubbock 1/2 IM. Does anyone have any last minute tips for me?
One big question I have is should I run or walk the hills? Last year I saw a line of people walking this monster of a hill and I thought to myself, "I've never walked a hill in my life, I'm not going to walk this one!". About 1/3 of the way up I started to walk. It just seemed like the people who were running weren't going much faster but where burning a lot of energy. I'm 6'1" @ 162 lbs for about 8% body fat, so I'm not hauling a lot of extra weight around, but I'm also not one of those 145lbs mountain goats.
