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).

2020 Shoe Purchases (Rolling - January)

(1/5) Nike Pegasus 36 Trail - Have always wanted to try a trail shoe, but was pretty sure I didn't need one that could handle the technical trails in places like Colorado.  Focus on was on a hybrid shoe (road and trail), with potentially a GTX/Goretex liner.  My concern with GTX is heat.

20220206 Stryd Pod Calibration Change

 So, it seemed obvious today that the pod was still off.  It seems to be reading short of the intended distance based on 7 mile circuit and initial readings on my 11 mile run today.  I feel like .20 miles short on 7 miles.  So .0286 miles off per mile.  Current calibration is 99.3.  Reset to 100.  Current calculations indicate 102.25
