6 day's

Six day's until Around the bay 30 k road race. http://www.aroundthebayroadrace.com/

Joanne's race number is 4934 and my race number is 4935


We went out for a easy 15k run Sunday practicing 10 and 1's and nutrition. Joanne did well and is feeling confident now that she will finish the race. We had a solid run finishing well under my projected time without pushing her pace, actually I had to back her off several times as she has no concept of pacing and tends to go out to fast which I constantly pointed out to her. Our goal is to finish under 4hours at her 8k/hr average pace, which is a 5:25 marathon pace and would bring us in at ruffly 3:45 if all goes well. Joanne was pleased with how we ran and really appreciated how I kept her on pace giving her confidence.

Joanne will do one more short run Thursday to keep her legs loose for race day. Saturday we will be going out to Hamilton and check in to our hotel which is only a few blocks from the start/finish line, pick up our race kits, take in the expo and meet up with a few friends before having an early dinner and resting up for the race Sunday.
