2025 May Fredrick Half (from memory)

  60 degrees - light rain

Singlet

Puma Fast-R 3. Took a big risk given I just got the shoes a week earlier and had only a track session in them.

Path Shorts

1 flask

No fueling issues.  

No issues with water.  

Watch speed was several seconds per mile slow. Had to undo the watch calibration back closer to 1.0 after the race.

Generally felt good throughout the race. Shins started hurting at mile 7.  Was able to manage.

Rain was light after the first mile of the race. It helped keep things cool.  The last 1-2 miles were a bit difficult (this included the up hill at the end).

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.
