20220205 Wear Notes

 28-29 degrees.  Light weight jacket, tights, long sleeve, drymax socks, Aurora BL shoes, merino mittens.

  • Jacket was fine at start.  Could have taken off.
  • Long sleeve worked fine.  Was brooks ugly shirt.  Could have gone to tech sleeve.
  • Drymax socks were warm! Originally had tape, but didn't need it.  Could have gone colder as almost too warm.  
  • Mittens worked fine.  Just a bit different than the gloves, but still ok.
Based on runwin and + 10 degrees, should have been able to get away with a vest and 3/4.  Likely would have been ok, but since pace was slower, still worked out.

Current Shoes (Sept 2019)

Currently Recommended for Different Uses, If I had to Pick One Today for Each Use (Sept. 2019): Races - Vaporfly Next% Tempo, Interval - Vaporfly 4%, Carbon X Hills - Razor 3, New Balance Rebel Easy, Long - New Balance 1080 v9 All Around - New Balance Beacon, New Balance Rebel Other Shoes: Adidas Prime Parley  - Will use on treadmill. Reebok Sweet Road 2  - On hold for use after RA 2. Reebok Floatride Forever Energy  - Will rotate them in after Beacon. Reebok Floatride Run Fast  - Ran in them recently, and they really feel like a racing flat.  I don't get as much feedback from them at paces above 9 min/mile. That said, as I increased my pace (i.e., faster), the shoes started responding better.   Salomon Sonic RA 2  - Surprisingly nice shoe.  It is a bit long.  Will have to test to see if can be a long run shoe.  Picked up on ebay for $48, what a deal.  Starting rotating this shoe in as I start decreasing the ...

B&A Half March 2025

 60 degrees - overcast Singlet Vaporfly 1 Path Shorts 5 gels, used only 4 1 flask No fueling issues.   No issues with water.  Had over 1/4 left. Thought was on pace per the watch.  In the end, was 6 secs off based on the watch (7:21 vs. 7:27). Felt good throughout the race.  Manageable, not like the marathon in the fall. Hill was difficult, but manageable. Miles after the hill was significantly better than the prior run on this course.   Think I could have paced at the actual target of 7:21. Reset watch from 1.041 to 1.0 calibration.

2024 Nov 30 race

29 - 35 degrees Merino T-shirt Merino arm warmers Vaporfly Merino wool Ininji Path Projects Tights Path Shorts Smartwool gloves and Salomon mittens. 4 huma, 4 maurten gels.  Huma was in a flask. 1 flask Started with long-sleeve, took off by 3rd mile. Switched to gloves only by 3rd mile. Took off arm warmers by 3rd mile. Didn't feel cold until mile 24.   No fueling issues except could have used a bit more fuel in mile 25.  Flask made fuel a bit short. No issues with water.  Just enough by end. Horrible after mile 14.  Cold did seem to impact me. Might have gone out just a bit fast.
