Personal Bragging: My 50th Half-Marathon
Last Saturday's race (in 42 degree temps in the rain, I might add) was my 50th half-marathon since I started my hobby in June of 2009.
My vital statistics are: Completed races in 12 states so far (AK, HI, CA, NV, UT, WY, CO, TX, LA, FL, OH, and WI) Median pace = 10:15 per mile Median pace in flat, sea level races =9:37 per mile Fastest pace = 9:04 per mile (Beaumont, TX - flat and sea level) Slowest pace = 29:36 per mile (Pike's Peak Ascent - 7,800 foot climb from 6,300 ft to 14,100 ft and I was not good at it.) 14 have been at elevations between sea level and 3,000 feet (Median pace = 9:52) 21 have been at elevations of 3,000 to 6,000 feet (Median pace = 10:06) 9 have been at elevations of 6,000 to 9,000 feet (Median pace = 11:08) 9 have been at elevations of 9,000 feet or higher (Median pace = 15:29) 26 have been more or less flat with total hills < 300 ft (Median pace = 9:50). Three were net downhill. 12 have had moderate hills with total hills of 301-1,000 ft (Median pace = 10:43) 6 have had strong hills with total hills of 1,001-2,500 ft (Median pace = 12:10) 9 have had major hills with total hills of 2,500 ft or more (Median pace = 15:29) The 9 with major hills are the same 9 that were over 9,000 feet in elevation. 3 races were run in the rain and 1 in snow. I've only fallen once, and it wasn't in the rain or snow. (Tripped on a trail rock.) 24 were primarily on pavement or asphalt 6 were primarily on dirt roads 20 were primarily on trails I've gone the wrong way on trails 4 times but only twice did it for more than 30 seconds. The worst mistake added 3/4 of a mile. I've also had 2 10-mile races and a 10K in there, so that's 53 races in 54 months. Last edited by Rain Man; 11-27-2013 at 01:17 AM.. |
