Worth a trip.<br /><br />That is a good solid effort on a difficult-to-gauge distance. I think of it as closer to an HM than to a 10K in terms of initial degree-of-difficulty. 10K is hard from step 1. 15K, like an HM, is something you roll into, keeping things relaxed, trying to be consistent, and finishing strong over the last 5K. Sounds like that's pretty much what you did, and it worked.<br /><br />As to the CP hills, I think it best to count 4, i.e., Cat Hill (and always wave) and the three Harlem Hills (up/down/up or down/up/down). The balance of the course is rolling, esp. the West Side, three gradual ups, each followed by a gradual down. As with the proper hills, "relax" is the word. If you periodically include a relaxed effort up Sagamore, they will feel like nothing.Joe Garlandhttp://runwestchester.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-66819567061250583602010-03-30T01:30:19.559-04:002010-03-30T01:30:19.559-04:00Congrat on a PR, and wow - awesome splits!!

I think it has to do with bad conduction between the strap and the cold skin (before it has a chance to warm up) but I pretty much ignore the HR data for 1st two miles.<br /><br />I think you race a great race for yourself. 15K is always a hard distance to gauge. And yes, always consider the first race at a new distance as a PR and never a PW! <br /><br />Nice job!The Laminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171521739644023071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-9399643581086734542010-03-29T22:50:28.756-04:002010-03-29T22:50:28.756-04:00Congrats on a great race pace...wow!! :)Congrats on a great race pace...wow!! :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125640729727220332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-66192584253129850032010-03-29T21:49:40.548-04:002010-03-29T21:49:40.548-04:00Great pace, great race!
