IT’S ROCK n ROLL SAVANNAH RACE WEEK!!!!

And that means two things. 

  1. Time for last minute preparations. 
  2. Time for last minute PANIC!! 

See, you may recall that I have set myself a goal of a sub 2 hour Half on Saturday at the Rock n Roll Savannah Half Marathon. This will have me cutting about 5 minutes off last year’s time. I’ve been training like crazy and hopefully, all my hard work will pay off.

Last long run before Savannah completed, all is left to do is taper 

I am tentatively optimistic. I know I have gotten faster since last year. Just this weekend, I ran a 5K that I had done last year and cut 3 minutes off that time. 3 minutes off just 3.1 miles so for sure I can cut 5 minutes off of 13.1! The hardest part will be to not go out too fast. The plan here is to find the 2:00 pacer and basically stalk them for about 10 miles of the race and then see how I feel. A friend of mine has also offered to pace me, and I haven’t decided if I will take her up on that or not. I’m pretty solitary during a race, but the extra support may be good. IDK. 

Last Minute Prep made easy with the
RnR Marathon App

So yeah, right now it is all about packing to make sure that I have everything that I need – clothes, shoes, gels, hat, sunglasses, gear, KT Tape, all the race day essentials. I already have downloaded the Rock n Roll Marathon Series app and have my Bib numbers (I am also doing the 5K on Sunday afternoon). I’ve been obsessively weather stalking (temps are going down, booooo! And I’ve already started laying out stuff to pack. Finally, I am putting in my last few easy runs before the BIG EVENT! 

I will be leaving Friday morning and riding down with some friends to Savannah. We have a pretty huge group going (26!!) and are going to have a great time. If you follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram, you will for sure be getting lots of updates for the weekend. 

If you are going to be at the Rock n Roll Savannah also, we plan to hit up the Expo on Friday around 4 pm. Look for me, I’ll be in BibRave Orange! 

Well, I guess that is about it. I’m sure I am forgetting something and if you’ve spotted it, please let me know in the comments. Or, if you just want to wish me luck, you can do that as well.
