This was the second time I ran from Poinsettia train station to work. Pace was 10:47 (3:39 total over 20.3 miles). Probably could have used a little more recovery time from the 1/2 ironman I did last weekend.
Left train station at 4:30 am. Used head mounted flashlight which worked out pretty well. It was dark for the first few hours. Drank 3 8oz. cytomax and 1/2 bottle of water. 2 gels. Ate banana and cliff bar before leaving.
Temp 43F in morning. Long sleeve, vest, shorts, could have used light gloves as hands got cold in some areas, particularly through Cardiff and 3/4th through run.
Although I ran the whole way, time was not that far off from run/walk strategy. I believe time was ~3:45 when did it earlier.
Hope to improve in time next time when more recovered. Will be doing 15-20 mile runs every week through December in prep for the Carlsbad Marathon.
