Oh that ever nagging question, what to do for pacing and race strategy on Monday. Below is a side by side comparison of my last 2 (and best) performances in this race. I felt like I was in great shape going into the race last year and was a bit dissapointed by a time...

Not looking to gain any fitness, but hone the mind and body for Monday's Bolder Boulder with my last workouts this week.Tuesday I joined Hudson Training Systems at the Boulder High track. I was a bit nervous after hearing 12x400 was our workout. It's been a long time...
