poll time again-guess my half-marathon time!!
OK, as I had so much fun with the last one, couldn't resist another...c'mon, try and guess what my half-marathon time will be in 2 weeks!!
Realistic guesses please! :) To help with that, here's a little data...
Best half ever is 1:43 flat (Vegas '05-net downhill course, but with crazy headwinds for a good portion.)
2nd best is 1:47:23 (Queens '05-the old, good course!!)
Best half last year was San Francisco-1:49:21 (very hilly course!!)
In terms of predictors for now...my Broad Street Run time predicts 1:42:55 (Broad Street being supah flat-just like the Philly course.) I ran that time on much lower mileage though...
My Club Champs 5M time predicts 1:46:30 (that race being hilly, hot and humid!)
One of the choices above I feel is very unrealistic, but I felt I had to put it in anyway.
My main goal for this race is sub-1:45...yet kinda dreaming of 1:42 :)
Vote early. But do not vote often-I once again fixed it so certain people won't try and stuff the ballot box *coughmozcough*
Thanks for playing!

"Build a cushion" by running the first 5K as close to your 5K PR as you can, then "hang on" for the next 10 miles. That's what a lot of people seem to do in the marathon, so there must be something to it, right!
but do said people actually get their goals? ;-)
And who's the wiseguy who voted "under 1:40"? :)
damn and i got this message: "Thank you, we have already counted your vote." ....i say under 1:40; final answer! ;)
Good luck and enjoy the philly race since NYC is only a few weeks away!!!
you do realize that "under 1:40" is the "unrealistic choice that i felt I had to put in anyway"...glad to know you all have such confidence in me!!
thanks-this race will be like my last fling before the big one :-p
I LOVE this idea! I may steal it for my own blog to predict for the Queens half :)
