we all cover the same distance.\u00a0 That said, it&#8217;s really hard to start out and have walkers in front of you.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just lack of knowledge of race etiquette, I think.\u00a0 So walkers, remember to be out of the way of faster people who may be behind you.\u00a0 I saw an opening at the very beginning and I bolted through it.<\/p>\n<p>I made myself a pace band for this race that would get me in at 2:49 and getting me a new PR.\u00a0 Mile 1, I was well under pace, thanks to having to bolt around walkers.\u00a0 But then I started to get slower.\u00a0 I needed to keep a 12:54 pace (I run\/walk).\u00a0 I started with a 1:45\/1 pattern, but dropped to a 1:30\/1 pattern that felt great.\u00a0 But I had to push those early miles.\u00a0 My splits were pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211;
